I suspected there would be a few "issues" - doesn't sound like anything too problematic, especially since I now have a dremel :)
The motherboard should be a perfect fit, I think.

I bought one of these cases for my MythTV system. It's a well built case and
comes with a good power supply. However it wasn't designed for just any
micro-ATX motherboard. The I/O shield slot doesn't fit a standard ATX shield
so I had to pull out my dremel and make it bigger. Also the motherboard
spacers/screw points are nonremovable so you'll have to tape over or cut off a
few of them. Your motherboard must also be no larger then 7.5"x9.5" or you
will probably run into problems.
