YAHT: Question about a screw

[aplefka]

Okay, pardon me for posting in the wrong forum, but the mobo forum isn't very active and I don't know about the GH. I just need to know if my mobo will be okay if I don't put the screw in the bottom right corner of the mobo? There's no way I can get it to fit because of the way they have the IDE slots. Also, should I take out the corresponding stud in order to prevent a shorted board when I power up the first time? Quick, I'm too tired to stay up much longer!

It will blow up

Leaving the stud shouldn't short anything as long as the mobo can't slide enough for it to contact components around the hole.

And what about the screw? I mean nothing should happen because it's not like it's necessary, but I'm afraid if I don't do it, it might slip causing the stud to be a problem. I just don't feel like disassembling and reassembling. Maybe tomorrow, but not tonight.

Meh, as long as you've got a decent amount of screws in the board, leaving out one in the corner shouldn't cause a problem.
