Build Suggestion

[BASIC]

For people who have problems placing a motherboard on standoffs without scratching the board, put some masking or electrical tape over the standoffs, then screw through the tape later.

Then you insulate the standoffs from being grounding points, like they're designed to be.

The screws still go into them = still grounds.

Heh, true, but less contact. I just see no real need to do this. Even for first timers, its a non-issue if they're handling the parts properly. But I guess there are people who aren't as careful as others and could use this tip.

I ran into someone the other day who was having this problem. I'm always able to place the motherboard correctly, but it's good advice for people who aren't sensitive. =]
