Hi guys, I did an external boot on my PC and it is good to go. I only need to drop in the mobo, and I am good to go. Except... I lost the standoffs. I am looking at buying these: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-Brass-Motherboard-Standoffs-Computer/dp/B00213KL5I/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Should these fit? In one review it said they were shorter than some standoffs, so they may not fit certain cases.

Here's my case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119256&cm_re=cooler_master_elite_case-_-11-119-256-_-Product

Will those standoffs work? Thanks!
 
Solution
Standoffs not only hold the motherboard off the case, they position the motherboard properly for the I/O ports in the back.

You need to find out exactly how tall they are supposed to be for your specific case.
