Coupleof case 'modding' questions

[taylormsj]

I have bought this case --->

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...hvd19wcm9kdWN0X2dhbGxlcnk=&product_uid=108279

I have a few questions about it.

1. Judging from the pictures of the motherboard tray, do i need to use standoffs? as there are little dimples were the screws mount the motherboard.
2. If i do need to use standoffs, are these ok? they seem to me as if they would be easier and quicker to install ---> http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/124141
Even if i dont need to use standoffs, could i use them anyway instead of screws?
3. I am probably going to put a 120mm onto the side of the case where the rectangle of vent holes is - would these holes be big enough for case fan screws or would i need to drill them a bit bigger to attach the fan
4. The fire wire ports at the front is blocked up. I am going to be doing some video editing during the summer - is there anyway of me being able to use this port instead of reaching round the back into my PCI slot. (is there a cable or something that i can put onto the internal 6pin port on my PCI fire wire card and have it running through the case and up to the port hole in the front of the case?

Thanks for your help.

1. I'm pretty sure you'll still need standoffs, the dimples are just for more breathing room behind the Mobo

2. Those should work, but they look like the might be a pain to remove.

3. I'm pretty sure that that fan grill is made for a 80mm fan, and getting a bigger one wouldn't help that much.

4. There isn't really a way to do it that would be worth it. I would just use the back. Maybe, you could get a firewire extension cord with a male on one side and female on the other, and keep that in front of the computer, so you don't have to reach behind it.

Also, cheap cases are normally made out of cheap metal. If you're planning to work on it a lot, you might get a more structurally sound case, one that won't bend if you apply too much pressure in the wrong spot.

I was thinking the 120mm fan for the rectangle vent holes that is beneath the 80mm vent holes

Standoff are required, unless you like fried motherboards.

They should come with the case if it is new
