motherboard standoffs?

CinderzFTW · 15 Oct 2012 at 22:43

Where in all that is holy can I get motherboard standoffs from?

I am looking to take my case apart, clean it and replace the current crappy ones I am using, so I would like some shiny new ones!

I cannot find them on the OcUK website.

Help!

Thanks

ignore - misread

non of them are the stand offs... just thumb screws... i need the ones that you screw into the case, then put the motherboard on top, then screw the normal screws into the stand offs

A well known high street electronics store which sells hi fi and PC components. Not sure how many clues I can give before I get banned, but a Google search for motherboard standoff should point you in the right direction

Different cases will use different size standoffs with different screw threads etc.

You'll need ones that are going to work with your case:

Unless you’re a contortionist how are motherboard standoffs ever going to be visible once the motherboard is in?

You will probably get some fr with OCUK's cheapest case and it will be the same price as the highstreet for a little bag of 8.

Sorry not helpful.

You need to start a collect. I have a box in the loft the with all the screws from computers past. Means I can solve most things when I need to.

Some local independent pc parts/pc repair place?

an old case dump at the scrap perhaps?

IT guys at work if you are in an office?
