Just waiting on my case but was wondering could I run my pc casesless if I place the motherboard on say the box packaging or foam (anything that is non-conducting)? Or would I short it? Putting on 2 GTX 770 it not sure if that will make a difference.
 
Solution
Turn the anti-static bag the MB came in inside-out and you should be perfectly fine running it without a case. Some people use the box the MB came in and line the bottom with the anti-static bag and just place their MB in there with the installed components which I've never done.
