Thanks for that reply. The "Universal" mounting plate for the Apogee, which I aready bought, does indeed have holes that are exactly aligned up with the holes on my 8rda+, however , that mounting plate is so big that the capacitors on the board are too close and it can't be done. It is the same on my A7N8X as well. The Apogee is such a cool looking block it is ashame I have to toss it in my pencil drawer until I upgrade to a Athlon 64 system.
I'll probably go with a TDX, it looks like it will have the clearance I need.
