I have ordered a case and it arrived with dimples - raised posts in
the motherboard tray. I have only built three systems in the past and
never had a case come with the dimples. All of the others had the
brass screw in standoffs.
I assume I screw the board directly to the dimples (they take the
place of the brass standoffs): Correct? Then I was wondering what the
proper way to shield the unused dimples from coming in contact with my
motherboard? My case came with 3 or 4 little plastic plugs that seem
to be for that purpose. What if I don't have enough of the plastic
plugs to fill all unused dimples? Is black electrical type
sufficient?
In your opinion is the design of dimples better or worse than the
screw in brass standoffs?
Thanks in advance...
