I got the Gigabyte GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3 micro ATX motherboard only to find out that to crossfire/sli you need to put the cards in the top most and bottom most pcie slots. Well the board has 4 slots and fits in 4 slot computer cases but the video cards these days are almost all double slot. IE you need a 5 expansion slot minimum case to run this board with two video cards.
Battleplan:
1) Raise up the motherboard higher in the case
2) Cut another expansion slot in the case above the original 4.
3) Extend the I/O shield cutout in the case.

Not using standoffs so zip tie motherboard to tray

I put a piece of cardboard between the mb and mb-tray

Function over fashion. It works! I could zip tie better so mb is straight and level, but for now is sufficient.
