As you can see from this review http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/corsair-obsidian-750d-review,1.html it has it's on stands as part of the case and stands very nicely off the floor unless you have like a shag rug kinda and your worried about not getting enough air.

Look at the link and look at the pictures. As far as you heard with gaming computers like this you should always use standoffs I've never heard this but then again I look for good spacing at the bottom if there's vents. I don't think you could just buy standoffs for this case without a do it yourself kinda thing which I wouldn't suggest. You would also void your warranty on your case.
Uhmm we both assumed you were talking about the case. Case meaning the bottom of it. lol. No there's standoffs that come with the case. If it's used then not sure.

Motherboard standoffs are kind of required in any PC, gamer or otherwise, since the motherboard would otherwise get shorted directly to the motherboard tray and the expansion slots would not line up with case slots either.
Since the exact standoff height can vary between cases, they are always included with the motherboard's mounting hardware package if not pre-installed in the most common spots.

Some cases don't need brass standoffs, the mounting plate has built in motherboard separators, I have two such cases. Your case picture isn't so clear but it looks to be one of these cases. Screws should be included though.

Not a problem. I was just wondering if I was talking to a wall. The important thing is that you understand you don't have to spend extra for standoffs. The reason they come with the cases, is because the height from the MB tray to the cutout for the IO plate has to be exact. They provide the proper height standoffs to assure the end user that the board will fit properly.
