how can u properly seat the motherboard

[Kil]

so that it doesnt short out in the case?

well...i've never shorted out a mobo in the case ever...i just use the posts and screws provided and install...never thought about it shorting just kinda did it and had no trouble.

just try to be careful that you don't overtighten the screws...if you feel resistance give it a 1/4 turn more and leave it...this is what i always do.

you can use the risers supplied with the motherboard (if any) felt washers plastic washers etc tape

anything that doesn't allow a steel to steel contact(the posts that they supply are brass or other such material

make sure all screw holes have a screw and don't overtighten

hope this helps

first count how many screw holes are in your mobo, then take out the equivalent number of male spacers. Align your mobo with the usb/parallel/game/vga/ holes on the side of your case...take note of the location of the mobo screw holes

then take out your mobo, get a screw driver...go to the corresponding location of "screw holes" with your mobo removed, screw in the male spacers in the corresponding holes

then align your mobo with the screwed in spacers, screw in regular screws in the spacers and voila!
