Hello,

I am working on a new build with a new case. I have found that the upper standoff hole on the right side next to the drive bays is slightly stripped. I got one of the standoffs to tighten, but I have worries. What should I do? leave this one out altogether or would it hurt to try something like a thread locker for insurance?
 
Solution
In stall a nut on the standoff from the other side. You could see if an extra standoff will thread on and have enough clearance.

Or, Go to a place like Lowes where they have gauges you can use to get the size and buy a bag of nuts
