what is this thing for?

Looks like it's for dual CPU mounting points. What case did it come with - perhaps a trip to their web site would help. I wouldn't be surprised if it came with a CoolerMaster case as their user guides are useless in 8 or 9 languages.

it comes with the lian li PC201 and like i mentioned before, it's on the plate of the dynapower f3323 by default

neither webpage makes any reference to the plate :\
 
Here's your certain answer, even from Anandtech:

"In addition to the included fans, the PC-201B comes with all the special screws needed to mount the maximum of 12 hard drives, along with a stand-off plate for Xeon CPUs. It also includes plenty of screws for motherboard and drive fastening, two keys for the lockable front door, a couple zip-ties and mountable clips for cable management, and a small screwdriver for turning those pesky standoffs and standard hex case screws."

From this review of the PC-201B (link)
 
Most E-ATX cases are going to ship with them. They're pretty much the only ones that are going to have a xeon in them anyway.
