DIY motherboard standoffs using pennies and electrical tape?

[deviantstyles]

Hi, I have some empty desk space so I'm thinking of putting my pc components on it instead of using a case.

I'm thinking of wrapping stacks of 5 pennies in electrical tape to use as standoffs for the motherboard, which I'll tape on the bottom where the screw holes are. Then I will place the mobo with electrical tape standoffs on top of a wooden table.

I know copper is conductive but will the black electrical tape be enough to prevent any shorting?

Pennies are pretty useless and I thought it would be a good opportunity to put them to use.

Hi, You can simply put the board on the wood. Or use a rigid expanded polystyrene panel. Something like http://www.archiexpo.com/prod/placoplatre/rigid-expanded-polystyrene-insulation-panels-62387-231896.html
You can cut it at the board's dimensions.
