decided to build a dell 9020 MT using the PC5F7 motherboard in the Dell 7010 MT case. but when I line up the io shield, the ports aren't lining up properly, will the motherboard get fried?
It should not cause a problem, as long as any ground fingers on the IO shield do not extend into the USB ports/ HDMI ports, etc. From the pic I cannot see any problems but again make sure none of those fingers, if the IO shield has them, are not inside any ports.

Serious work on an E5430 and constantly building and working on an i5-6500 Desktop
