I have a quick question. My computer components arrived today, and I'm in the process of assembling. My (http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811147108) came with 3 standoffs. The 9 screws that fasten the mobo (http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813128519) are all raised in the case. I feel like I don't need to use the 3 standoffs to mount the mobo, but I would like to make sure. If you have ran into this, please let me know.
Thanks much!

Nevermind, I managed to find the manual searching through the rubble of left by me opening everything as fast as I could. ATX form factor does not require the standoffs.

YOU HAVE TO USE THE STANDOFFS. If you don't use them, all those bits of metal sticking out of the back of your motherboard are going to be shorted out on your case's motherboard tray. Your computer will not work without the standoffs. Plus you should have got more than just 3 standoff's with your case. Infact you should have one for each screw whole in your motherboard.
