motherboard grounding issues on custom case

[TKEcowboy]

I'd like to fabricate my own case. However, aren't there motherboard grounding issues to consider?

yes, use standoffs

something like THIS

well, I know to use standoffs, but if your case is made of wood, do you just screw the standoffs into the wood, then mount the board on the standoffs? Is there no other grounding needed?

if its wood I woudn't worry about it too much, just get a self tapping standoff and youll be set
