Trying to convert a Mac Pro into a compatible micro atx case. I would like to use the pegs that you screw into from the mmac motherboard, make grooves into the atx compatible position, and use gorilla glue to hold it in. My question is, will gorilla glue be strong enough to the pegs and a motherboard to the case?

Can't say for sure, but I wouldn't trust glue to hold up a board.

Drill holes for atx layout, tap them for 6/32, and use normal standoffs.

Thank you, I have never used gorilla glue so I wasn't sure how strong the stuff is. I'll need to pick up some more standoffs but seems like the next way of doing this.

It's really strong but I personally wouldn't trust it with in a metal on metal scenario with expensive electronics and heat.

I used epoxy to fit out a few extra pegs. 4 of them lined up, but I needed 2 more. I trust epoxy a lot more than glue. It's not like there's a lot of stress on a computer just sitting there in a rack with mobo parallel to the floor.

YMMV, I'd tap tap them if it's meant to go vertical.
