Probably not the BEST idea, as it won't support your board too well. I would recommend reusing some from that old computer to prevent damage to your mobo.

I'd recoomend salvageing two from that PC and putting them in this pattern:
X = Standoff
0 = Where standoff should be, but no standoff.

X 0 X



0 X X
0
0 X 0
Or even better take three:

X 0 X



X X
X 0
X 0 X
EDIT: So of course it didn't format the way I wanted it to, so im reposting with some drawings instead
