Building custom PC case, need help aligning standoffs and I/O port

Hey everyone,
I'm building myself a custom PC case out of Aluminum, and I've hit a snag.

I'm designing it in Sketchup first, and then I'm going to be sending the file to a laser cutting service to cut it out of my aluminum sheets. But I'm having quite a time finding information on the dimensions for placing my standoff holes correctly, so that they line up with where my motherboard's I/O ports will stick out the back slot of the case.

Any help would be massively appreciated. Thank you!

Is there anyway to get an accurate sketchup of a motherboard with the same form factor that you're using, overlay it onto your design to trace out the standoff holes?

 

Rear IO you'd probably be best using a standard rectangle cut out, and putting the IO shield in

Hopefully this should be all you need, some useful dood on reddit made this:

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.
