Computer Problem

[MrD.]

1) Did you properly mount the support screws so that the board wouldn't short out from contact with the case. . . i know u prob no better then that. . . but a lot of people used to screw there mobos directly to the case and short it out . then come to me asking what happened ^_^.

Why the hell would they even consider that to be correct?! Surely the motherboard would actually bulge from the solder on the bottom touching the case.

I've always wondered which side of the motherboard to put the washers, for minimum chance of shorts, my brain says top and bottom, but getting those damn things to stay on the bottom is a pain, so generally they just get put on top.
