Stand Off's

[TheJoelster]

Hey everyone I am in my first PC build right now and as I was putting the stand offs in the case I realized I was short one. Now I don't know what to do, I have a previous case that has some stand offs but they are different sizes. I am using a Thermaltake Soprano now and it came with the bare minimum amount of standoffs. Any ideas of what to do.. Quick assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

goto walmart and get some of them ones thats sticky like you would for furniture.

you don't need to secure every hole of the motherboard. Hell, one of the standoffs on my case would be right in the way of my SLK-900U mounting bracket and the board is still secured just fine. I think even just 4 screws will do the job

doesn't really matter if it's just 1, really.

so if I don't put one standoff in it will be ok?

I would just put four around the perimeter and one in the middle.

you put them where there is going to be force while it is installed. ie...agp/pci slots, cpu, ide channels.
