I recently had a lot of hassle putting my A1200 (rev. 1D.1) in a Power
Tower. The holes in the motherboard just didn't line up with those in
the mounting panel. PowerC told me that any replacement panel would
be exactly the same. The problem was apparently, due to variations of
the drillings in the motherboards - something I'm less inclined to
believe as all 1200 motherboards must have started life in standard
desktop cases. The solution seems to be that you must be prepared to
do quite a bit of DIY to get everything to fit.
