The backplate is plastic. Thanks for your feedback! I'd still like other peoples opinions before I proceed since it is a $1,500 workstation PC.
 
If you're still worried, you could contact Cryorig who'll confirm that it isn't conductive. Even better, use a DVM and check the resistance between 2 close areas on the backplate and you should see that resistance is infinite. We often recommend testing motherboards outside of the case on cardboard for a similar reason; it isn't conductive.
