There are other types of case-motherboard fittings....
The clips that are set into holes in the case plate, by inserting and twisting 90 degrees.
Invariably, one will not clip very well, one will not take a fixing screw, and one more may be equally troublesome, plus you NEVER have as many as you'd like to use.
Plastic slide-posts are not seen on modern cases, but you may see some plastic buffer posts that can be used on a motherbord fixing with no matching case hole, to prevent flexing under pressure (connector/CPU area).
Cases usually have positions marked for varioious sizes of board, so the first step is to see which pattern is a match (if any) - sometimes you just have to check it by eye, or even resort to shining a light through and offerring up the motherboard.
A post fitted where it does not match the motherboard, will either short it out, scratch the tracks, or just prevent the motherboard fitting at all
