I bought a Lian-Li PC-65b and I don't like the mounting clamps they include with the case. Do you guys sometimes buy the standoffs from other companies? Do you fasten them to the tray with nuts?
 
I inserted all the mounting clamps, placed the mobo (defective, RMAd) on them, and screwed the mobo onto the clamps. One screw became stripped in the clamp. The clamps liked to fall out, and the board didn't sit right. The part by the I/O shield had to bend up because the spacing wasn't right. I had a bad experience with them.
 
did u push the clips all the way in to the hole so they snap in?
 
I'm with you, I dislike the standoffs too. That's the only complaint I have about Lian Li's. I have 3 of them though, so I still like them :)
 
are they slightly rectangular shaped? Have you examined them carefully to make sure you have put them in right?

They square-ish, and I tried them in all four approaches, and they fit pretty much the same in each way.

So is anyone gonna answer my initial question?

I use the supplied standoffs. I rock them in from the back and they stay in just fine. Squishing them and inserting from the front just won't do :\
 
Ive never bought stand offs, thought ive taken them out of other cases... find a case on the curb and strip the hell out of it.

you can punch a hole and then thread it, or just force the stand offs in and try to get them to thread tap the thread.

ive taken stand offs that are attached to a case, and cut some of the case from around it, and put them threw a hole in a new case, glued/taped it on, or put a spacer between the mobo and the tray so when i tighten the mobo down everything holds itself in place, but that was a temperary selution.

id love to have an extra bag of like 50 stand offs but the only place ive seen them are micro center, and im not paying their prices for that.
