How do I mount a motherboard? What should i do with these screws and 'screw-thingies"??

[OmnipotentSpleen]

I just got a MSI KT133 board and the case today. The case came with several diffrent "screw thingies" that i don't know what to do with. I'll try to explain them and maybe you can help me find out where they need to go:

I got 5 little whiteish plastic "sproket" thingies. On the (top?) of them, it looks like the bottom of a screw. (has the ridges on them)

I have three little red "dougnuts". looks like a washer actually.

..And 3 golden "screws" that have long-hexagonal-cylinders at the top, and can recieve a screw as well as be (screwn?) into something.

I also recieved an asortment of regular case screws.


lol...wow, that's weak...i'm sorry if i sound really bad trying to describe these to ya...i hope you get the picture.


So how do I go about mounting the mobo onto this sucker? It's ATX. I want to mount it the proper way. no hack jobs for this computer. is there some way that i could fry the mobo or short it out somehow by not mounting it right?

Thanks for the help,

read the motherboard manual, I'm sure it'll tell you how to mount it.

Also, look to your case manual. That may help as well.

This may help HERE . Basicly the non screw thingys attach to the case or mounting plate in the case,this is where and how the mobo will mount. Then the case screws go though the mobo into the thingys you can use the little washers here. Then the funny screws prolly attach to the printer port or the like.

Actualy starting at the BEGINING would be best.
