modifications to game's mounting or wiring?
Not sure what you mean by 'inappropriate' information...
How is all of this great info inappropriate?

The two that i know of will fit into the cabinet with the purple mobo. Great info to some, may be not great info to others. Therefore "inappropriate" .
lilshawn:
all atx boards are the same size with the same mounting holes. (which is why it's called the "ATX standard".) Read up on it, it's a pretty strict set of instructions that state certain components cant be over a certain height in this area or another... be of a specific size/shape.
the boards i have swapped have been either - same/or similar models, or boards from a different line (ie, board used in aurora for an EVO) due to the OS, the boards have to be pretty close or have a specific version of software to work (driver sets installed in the OS)
...and because boards (read most boards) conform to the ATX standard, they fit just fine. no modifications of the wiring are needed. They all plug into the headers just the same.
sometimes a little trimming of the northbridge heatsink is needed (for a particular force replacement), but not a big deal. you just clip a 1/4 inch off of 2 or 3 fins to clear a bracket.

lilshawn, There are many forms of atx. For example, flex atx, micro atx, and standard atx all have different mounting through holes. A perfect example is the ion cabinets made for the purple ecs mobo is atx where the cabinets for the asus mobo is micro atx. The force board is flex atx.

I used ATX as an all-encompassing attributive, not as and explicit identifier.

Im sure thats not what the poster asked. He wanted to know if the boards you and I have mentioned, will fit in the exact place as the board he possible wants to replace. In reference to the boards i know of, One is atx like the purple ecs and should mount right up, the other would replace the asus board.
