P5Q Mobo - why only three standoffs?

9TurningMirrors · 23 Oct 2008 at 23:04

So I've finally got an evening to put my new machine together but seem to have come to a frustrating brick wall.

I have a P5Q mobo with nine lovely screw holes and a P182 case with 9 lovely screw mounts...

...but only three brass standoff screws. I don't have any spares and I'm pretty sure from reading this forum that putting the mobo in w/out them would be a BAD THING so I will have to wait until Saturday now.

Am I just being over cautious or do Antec just hate people?

I might also have just been really, really dense last night.

There are nine silver columns fixed to the backplate. they have screw threads in the top...so are those the risers and the little brass screws just 'extras' for board/case combos that are unusual?

Feeling a little sheepish right now
