Actually, you referred to hacking the case.
Which is modification, and which you agree that will need to be done,
depending on the board.
Let me quote this for you:

(Notice that there is no mention of which board)
And you agreed with me. A sawtooth would take little modification to
the case to make it fit/work, but something like a quicksilver or mirror
door would take a lot of work.
Removing the back panel is a case hack. To add a power board to the
front is a case hack. To remove large chunks of sheet steel for a
second drive or a motherboard that has a different stand-off layout than
what the case is designed for is a hack.
From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) :
hack [very common]
1. n. Originally, a quick job that produces what is needed, but not well.
2. n. An incredibly good, and perhaps very time-consuming, piece of work
that produces exactly what is needed.
3. vt. To bear emotionally or physically. "I can't hack this heat!"
4. vt. To work on something (typically a program). In an immediate
sense: "What are you doing?" "I'm hacking TECO." In a general
(time-extended) sense: "What do you do around here?" "I hack TECO." More
generally, "I hack`foo'" is roughly equivalent to "`foo' is my major
interest (or project)". "I hack solid-state physics." See Hacking X for Y.
No matter how small, easy, or large for a job, if it's changing
something to use it or make it do something that it was not originally
intended for, it's a hack, low or high quality, it doesn't matter.
