All the dozens of computer cases I've been looking at buying seem to
have the same standard rear connector cut-out configuration, which
does NOT match the connector layout of the P5GDC-V Deluxe motherboard.
Does anyone know of any cases that DO match the P5GDC-V Deluxe?

My P5GDC-V Deluxe came with a knock out panel for the case. I just replaced
the one the case came with. Watch your finger when you perform the panel
replacement should there be any sharp edges. The material is thin and can
cut.

No problem. That "holes" includes with the motherbord.

??? Sorry, I'll say it another way: The rear connectors on the
p5gdc-v deluxe motherboard do NOT line up with the cut-outs on the
cases I've seen. If you lay the case down on it's side and go from
left to right, I see the kbd and mouse first, stacked vertically, then
to the right of them is the USB ports with the ethernet port above
them, then next to the right is the two serial port holes with the
parallel port hole above them, etc..

On the motherboard, however, it starts with kbd and mouse on the left,
but then next to them on the right is the two digitial audio ports and
the vga port with the parallel port above them, then next to the right
is two USB ports and a 1394 port stacked vertically, then two more USB
ports and the ethernet port stacked vertically, and finally it's two
more columns of three audio ports each on the far right.

Does anyone know of a case that will match this motherboard? If not,
it looks like I'll have to knock out the entire connector template on
the case, and leave the motherboard connectors exposed to open air
instead of touching the case wall.

Ah, excellent news! Thanks; I hadn't considered they'd include such a
panel with the motherboard!

No, you don't understand. You change the I/O-plate from the case
with that plate delivers with the motherboard.
This is not a problem at all. Believe me. No worries.

The motherboard comes with the rear bracket to place into ANY standard ATX
case!!!

Pretty much common practice these days.

Thanks Ken, David and GMAN. I've never purchased a motherboard by
itself before, and didn't know about this. Looks like I'm ready to
roll now!
