That's pretty tight. Remember, if a board is 1.2" tall, you need a little room underneath and some room on top for airflow and so things don't short out, although the box appears to be plastic, huh?
I see no reason why the motherboard couldn't be mounted upside down. It might be better since dust settles with gravity, right?
I don't believe the motherboard needs to be grounded through the standoffs. I'm pretty sure full sized ATX motherboards come with plastic standoffs and there are guys on this site that have built computers in plastic cases, so I wouldn't worry about that.
Your Opus dimensions are kind of big compared to my M2-ATX. Have you purchased the parts yet? If it works for you functionally, you might consider the M2. I think it would fit next to your motherboard in the 27 cm dimension.
Good luck.
