Hey guys. I am ready to put everything together, but I don't know if I need washers between the motherboard and chassis. Also, if I do where can I get them? Keep in mind that I'm in Wilmington, NC, not Raleigh. Can I get something that will work at Lowe's Hardware?

The only thing you really need is the standoffs for the mobo. Some cases come with little paper washers, this is only for noise and vibration.

i'd think it'd be bad to put a paper/rubber washer in there - the more grounding the better

I think plastic standoffs may have come with the case, but I will have to check when I get home....

Either way, thanks for the help guys!!

Use metal standoffs. They support the weight better. This can be very important if you have a large heatsink.
