" Hi! My name is Stephanie and I’m here on behalf of expertvillage.com. Please visit our web site at www.clickincomputer.com. Now, we’re going to mount the motherboard into the case. The first thing we need to do is pull all your cables out of the case and get them out of the way. Then what we need to do is figure out exactly how it’s going to fit in. You will notice there are several holes inside of the case and your motherboard is not going to use them all. So one easy way to make sure that we are going to put it in properly is to just kind of overlay your motherboard and then you can take a marker and you can mark right above the holes all the way around. Your motherboard generally will take six screws, all six of these need to be screwed in to make sure that it sits in your case properly and that you don’t have any damage later. Next, we’re going to put in the standoffs. These keep your motherboard up off the case so that it doesn’t short out. Then we place the motherboard into the case, make sure that it lines up with the back plate we just installed and we will take a screw and they don’t often come with our case, but I would like these little paper washers, they help keep your motherboard from shorting out and they also keep you from screwing the screw in too tightly. So, we lineup our holes on the motherboard and it is also helpful to have a slightly magnetic screwdriver and we just screw it in, make sure you don’t screw it too tightly or you will break the motherboard and it will be impossible to get out later.

on 7/6/2009 Hello. Very Nice tutorials. I only have one concern. I thought the standoff screws we supposed to make electrical contact with the motherboard at those areas as to ground the motherboard from static and such.
