Lol at the Perminant Marker hahaha.

Although I vinyl dye ALL my connectors, they come out beautifully... The Sharpie marker didn't "Stick" to my connectors long enough :(

Pictures arent the best but whatever.

I was under the impression that the metal pads surrounding the motherboard's mounting holes were there for a reason: to provide an additional path to ground (the case). Using rubber washers, you are eliminating that, which could contribute to the instability that you are experiencing. Maybe you should consider to use metal screws without the rubber washers.
 
Are you just taking pictures of random things like DVI ports and motherboard screws? :confused:
 
Some nice pics, love the SATA cable mod too ;)

The motherboard would still be touching the mobo tray mounts from the back, so those washers won't really affect it unless for some reason they were being put on the back too.

But I don't think those provide additional ground for the motherboard. I made a case 99% wood, so the stand offs are not grounded, and computer works fine in that case. Also the acrylic cases don't have them grounded.
 
Yeah, your motherboard is grounded by the power supply 20/24 pin connector ground wire(s).

Glad to see you took some air to that cpu heatsink fan....it was looking a bit dusty on the leading edges!! ;)

And definitely, the coolest pics of motherboard screws and standoffs, EVER! :cool:
 
Thanks guys. Thoes are cork washers, IMO I think they add a touch of detail and look better then stock screws. I still haven't got around to clean the PSU area and such. Once my 24pin ATX extension comes in and my sleeving, I will clean everything and you will see how good this case is for cable managment. Well Thanks for looking. :)
