installing mobo to case - need help

[sihuda]

Got a case (with no manual). I remember reading that when you screw in the mobo, you have to make sure it isn't touching the metal case. Do I have to screw in the copper like screws in first to the case? Then do I fasten the motherboard on top of those screws? Can somebody please shed light on this topic.

Ehh.

You gotta screw standoffs to the motherboard. Then you put the motherboard on them and screw on the standoffs.

for a full atx board you gonna use like 9 or so of them.

you screw the copper spacers into the case, then lay the motherboard on top, and use screws to fasten the spacers to the motherboard.

this way, there is no metal on metal contact bewteen the motherboard and the case.
