to save you the work, http://www.xoxide.com/acryliccases.html and it can set you back only as little as 70 bucks

or examine those pictures closely to see how they mount them

LAZY. anti [H] attitude ;D

(just giving you a hard time, don't take it personal).

Just drill small holes in the plexi and screw in a standoff. One thing i might try if i were you is to ground the motherboard through an artificial motherboard tray made of aluminum foil. Just lay a sheet of aluminum foil against the bottom of the case and screw the standoffs over it. Make sure the bottom of the motherboard doesn't touch the alum foil and then attach the aluminum foil somehow to the casing of the power supply. It doesn't have to be exotic or hardcore... just a precaution. That's one flaw i've noticed with just about all plexi cases. The motherboards aren't grounded.

motherboard are grounded through the powersupply, you dont really need to do that.

but it is a precaution.

are there "special" plexi screws, or some type of glue(both plexi-to-plexi and plexi-to-metal) that will hold tight but still be able to be taken off, I dont like the idea of glue it and it being there forever incase I want too change something, I geuss the modder side of me is coming out

cool

just cut the holes slightly small and screw a standard standoff into it. No need to thread the holes or anything..
