Usually, when you buy a computer case it comes with standoffs which get screwed on to the case (there's usually at least 6 and as many as 10) and then the motherboard sits on those standoffs instead of on to the case itself. The motherboard standoffs serve the purpose of avoiding direct contact between the motherboard and the case itself so as to avoid a possible electrical discharge which would in turn damage the motherboard. There are holes on the case where the standoffs should be placed.
What else can I help you with?
What is used to mount the motherboard and to prevent it from touching he metal portions of the case?
Preventing the motherboard from touching the case are stand-offs.
Which action is recommended to prevent the motherboard form contacting the metal base of the case?
Which action is recommended to prevent the motherboard from contacting the metal base of the case? Ensure that the non-conductive side of the case is beneath the motherboard. Use standoffs to keep the motherboard above the metal base. Place a non-conductive barrier between the motherboard and the metal base. Use a self-adhesive non-conductive membrane on the underside of the motherboard. Which action is recommended to prevent the motherboard from contacting the metal base of the case?

What is the purpose of installing standoffs or spacers between the motherboard and case?
To Prevent components on the back of the motherboard from touching the case.
What is the purpose of spacers?
To Prevent components on the back of the motherboard from touching the case.
What is a standoff?
A round plastic or metal peg that is used to separate the motherboard from the case, so that components on the back of the motherboard do not touch the case.
What prevents the motherboard from touching the bottom of the case?
spacers on older models...screws on newer
What are the round plastic or metal pegs that separate the motherboard from the case?
splitters
What does a riser board do inside a computer?
If I'm not mistaken they raise the motherboard up so it is not touching the case.
What is the purpose of the raised screw holes or standoff installed between the motherboard and the case?
The standoffs create a space between the case and the motherboard, so preventing shorting of components. The space also aids cooling air flow through the space.
Standoffs are also called what?
Standoffs, Also called spacers, are round plastic or metal pegs that separate the motherboard from the case, so that components on the back of the motherboard do not touch the case.
How do you clean ram?
You can blow it with compressed air while it's in the motherboard. You can use a pencil eraser to clean the contacts if you take it out. Be careful, RAM is sensitive to static electricity. You can ground yourself by touching a part of the metal case of the computer before touching any component of the motherboard. You should never touch the contacts with your hands as the oil on them will contaminate it. You should ground yourself before putting the RAM back in.
