I've been scouring the interwebs for PCIE slot measurements with mixed results. There are a few common graphics that pop-up each time this question is asked on various forums, but they are inconsistent and vary quite a bit. If you've ever searched for this measurement you've probably seen them yourself, if not, you can check them out here.
Jeffinslaw, who designed the Project mATX case, also had this discussion on another forum and received a couple different measurements, as well as posting his own. And unfortunately, formfactors.org doesn't have any resource that addresses this either.
So I figured I'd pose the question here, and see if we can pin down a common measurement, or if we're lucky, stumble upon the holy grail that is PCIE slot standard spec. I've added some sketches that cover the most important measurements for the slots, with one graphic depicting a top down view of the flange that pci cards are mounted to, and another graphic from an inside out view of the slots next to the motherboard IO.
I'll be sure to update this post for a record of all the different measurements that are posted.

I didn't add measurements for the distance between motherboard tray and bottom of PCI slots, but they are included in this paper, and use the standard 6-32 x 3/8" motherboard standoff.
