Could use a Tsunami Dream owner for some help

[Abunai]

First time builder, be gentle.

Case installation has been smooth up until trying to mount the motherboard. I screwed in the standoffs properly to align with my MoBo (Neo2 Platinum) but the generic screws included to hold it in place are too small and Im not getting any torque on the threads to fit them snugly, they just keep spinning in place with my screwdriver. The board feels awfully loose with these in place. Are you supposed to use the thumbscrews instead? Or am I possibly missing specific screws for mounting the motherboard? Appreciate any insight, thanks.

There must be diferent screws there. They may look very similar.

You're using the wrong screws. I have the same case and mobo. The ones I used have a circular head with philips and flat head indentations.

the screws you r suppose to use is the ones u used to screw in the PCI cards..... yes circular + head......
thumbscrews are too big... might short circuit some parts of the board

Wrong screws.

screws?!... i used glue on mine...

Um, nope. The thumb screws are meant for the mobo, so your screwdriver doesn't slip and dig into the mobo. I, too, have TT Tsunami and thumbs good.

I also have a TT Tsunami, the thumb screws are for the HDD cage not the motherboard, as most of the people above said use the circular head screws w/ philips and flat head indentations. You can take one of the stand offs out and test which screw will work and then use just those types of screws.

Good luck, go slow, enjoy the case. It's fantastic.
