Thats about it Mark, just make sure that the spacers hold any parts of the mobo clear of the case so it cant short out again

I'm sure that someone with experience in that field will give you an answer very shortly Twiggy.  I promise we are not ignoring you.

Hiya Mark!  And don't forget to apply for access to the Danger Zone - a restricted section of the site - where the loonies hang out.

Sorry for the delay, I went out at 2-15 pm and got involved in helping to sort some electrical problems in the house that my niece has just moved into, then most of the evening I have been running around trying to locate a working PSU for her computer that decided to pop a capacitor inside it when she connected it up again in her new house.
I managed to get one off a friend only to discover that it had taken the hard drive with it at the same time, so tommorows job is sorting a new drive and installation for her.
Didnt get back home until 11pm

The spacers only contact the mobo on an insulated part not a conductive part of the mobo Mark, they are merely there to hold the pins that protrude through the mobo away from the metal case

It doesn't sound as if you have even had time to take your costume off yet!

I am sat here in the nude Clive wondering if I dare cook like this or whether I should get dressed in case of hot splashes  

[Clive]

Best not to cook any bacon then.
