The screw holes on a motherboard are made to be isolated, but you don't want the motherboard laying flat on the base. Most cases uses use brass standoffs with metal machine screws. You can make plastic standoffs by cutting a round plastic pen tube in to 1/4" sections or use some spacer bushings and then use wood screws.

Hi,
Just want to know if I can install a metallic screw through the motherboard (corner holes) to the wooden base of the rig. The reason to ask that is to avoid any possibility of short circuit that may caused by screw and motherboard (hole or base) contact.
Or, would I need to insulate the screw.
Thaking you in anticipation.
