I've got an ABIT AW9D Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail mobo and an Antec P180B Case, according to the specs on newegg.com they should be compadible but when I try to mount the motherboard in the case the silver screw hole thingy mabobers dont fit into my motherboard(their too big) any ideas?
 
be sure that the mobo is not flipped around and that the I/O ports line up.

check your manual and the case manual, you should fine help in there
 
They appear to be too big, you just have to use the screws with the bigger, flatter heads on them, they take a bit to line up though, you have to hold it while screwing the first few in then, then it stays and you can do the rest no problem! :D
 
p180 should have come with a set if its own screws etc so check the mini box on the back of the HDD cage for better ones
 
Did you put in the standoffs?

You screw the brass standoffs into the steel plate in the case and the motherboard sits on them and you screw it in with the screws provided with your case
