    I'm not really sure what to call it as google is no help whatsoever, does anyone know of any place that sells (sketchup etc would do) the bit the offset screws go into i.e the bit that the motherboard is mounted to?

    Do you mean motherboard standoffs?

    They come in different types---screw in, clip in, etc.

    These are not the standoffs you're looking for.

    Move along.

    You can get Lian Li motherboard trays seperately which also usually include the pci card backplane, and some a fan mount.

    bit expensive........ anybody know the placement of the screws? I.e as a template, the only spare case I have doesn't fit full atx and I'm attempting to make a case that I can use alot longer than the hardware inside lasts (ie room for expansions etc)
