Pardon the noob question, but since my next project will be my first using a Shuttle mobo (not to mention my first experience with a SFF in general), I really dont want to screw this up.

Because of Shuttle's compact size, are the placement holes for a CPU heatsink different from a standard AM2 socket ATX mobo? After dismantling my SN27P2 (i need the mobo and some parts, not the case), and after visually looking at AM2 ATX mobos, it "looks" like the 4 mounting holes are spaced slightly differently.

Or are my eyes tricking me and it's all the same?

I dont want to drop a few hundred bucks on a DD kit if the block won't mount on the mobo properly.
 
I wouldnt try to WC a shuttle...but thats me. And you will need a custom mount made. DD WILL do it, but it costs more.
 
The case I'm using is rather "odd", with lots of space. I'm not using the case, just the mobo. I originally was going to use a mATX board, but even that was too big, Thats why I bought the Shuttle.

Custom mount hmm? Crap. Time to start saving. Thanks.
