Do new retail pack motherboards come with standoffs and screws for the case?

I've got a case with no standoffs (they must've been used elsewhere, etc).

Do new retail pack motherboards have screws and standoffs?

They don't come with the boards. Any computer shop will have tons of them laying around.

Mine didn't. I had extra screws and standoffs from previous builds. I did notice a small computer store that sold little packs of screws, standoffs, etc.

Agreed w/ everyone else. They come w/ the case, not the motherboard. If the local computer shop doesn't sell them, they might just give them to you. If neither is true, let me know, I think i have some extras somewhere, I might be able to hook you up.

Look in the yellow pages for local computer stores. At least you won't have to buy them by the 50 pack like on the page you linked.

You shouldn't have to. Most newer motherboards have an area around the screw holes that is designed to contact the screw and standoff and ground the board to the case.
