The CoolerMaster cases have a slide-out metal tray that the motherboard mounts on. you remove this tray from the case, and then secure the motherboard on the tray using a screwdriver. You then slide the tray back in and secure it with thumb screws. You use thumb screws for the power supply, the back of the case, etc. You do have to use a normal screw driver for the disk drives also. Sorry for my quick remark there. It's not totally a hand-buildable environment, but after the drives are in and the MB is secure I do not remember having to get a screwdriver out to do any maintenance.
