We are all nOObs so I wouldn't worry about it!
Wasn't worried, but it is funny though, you have to laugh about it
As soon as you stop thinking of yourself as a nOOb your learning rate slows right down, better to stay humble and keep an open mind about things.
Two main reasons for raising the motherboard off the case using stand-offs is to keep the motherboard from shorting (short-circuting) against the metal case and also to help the board run a tad cooler. In theory you could run a board laying flat on a non-conductive surface but the rear of the board can get super hot and melt/burn whatever its laying on!
