unfortunantly i dont have a 16 trillion megapixel (exagerration) camera that can take high resolution pics of motherboards and stuff so i cant show pics that you could even make out

 the black screws can be screwed snuggly into the phillips head. this allows you to keep the board attached to the casing without any drilling, cutting or dremeling.

Sounds like a good idea, just not sure this will work well. Are you forcing the original black screws to 'thread' into the top of the philips head screws? Is that holding well?

actually it doesnt damage the little black screws it threads nicely into the phillips head and believe me you cant get a screw to hold any tighter.. it actually takes a little muscle to get the final turns of the black screws

after u did this did u let it overheat?

So I guess the difference in your method is that you use rounded screws instead of flat ones, and also correct me if I am wrong..Does lawdawg not use the original black screws? What I cant figure out is with lawdawgs method, if you just put the screws through the motherboard and do not screw where the x clamps where to the casing? So with his method, what keeps the motherboard close to the casing near where the old x clamps where?
At least in your example I can see we are using the original black screws and this is how the motherboard stays close to the casing..But Im still not sure how the black screws will not mess up the screws going through the motherboard.
Any help would be appreciated...

the black screws dont screw up the other scrws cause the are tiny.. they just make a small threading into the big screws... and to the guy above i will do the heatgun on most of my fixes for good measure.. but i dont do the overheating method like that.. should work without it

edit:lawdawgs method does not use the black screws so it doesnt have anything supporting the screws to the chassis
