So I finally built my computer and got it to boot successfully, there's just one problem. The case that I bought only had one stand off which hardly screwed in and fell out regardless...

I'm pretty worried that I will fry my motherboard somehow due to this. My mobo however is sitting nice and tight locked in with the one standoff in the middle.

I am using the Corsair Spec-01 case...

Am I fine or I am just being paranoid about messing up my new PC. I'm quite tempted to go buy some tomorrow though...

Thanks

With just one standoff, you aren't getting a nice continuous ground that the case provides when all the motherboard specified standoffs are installed. You could have audio noise, BSOD, any number of possible bad-ground related problems. You will also probably flex your motherboard plugging in power etc.
