The reason why I'm asking is because I'm selling some of these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/281274780304?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

but I don't know if it's really worth it to include standoffs. I don't know if people would appreciate that extra $5, what do you think?
I obviously have these cases for myself, and I don't use standoffs, or nothing like that.

Why not drill the holes for the standoffs and leave it to the buyer to decide if they need them. Personally, i would want a space underneath the MB to allow heat to escape. But i doubt that it is needed. BTW, nice simple frame design. I like it. Good luck with your endeavor.

Oh that. I was thinking you meant those plastic pieces that support a mobo at the mounting holes. That's an open air frame. Yeah if you want to stay organized it's great, but You're spending money on looks. I personally just used cardboard boxes and wire racks.

If you're trying to be neat about it then go ahead and secure everything down. I run most of my non cased rigs on top of the mobo box they came with and haven't shorted anything yet, but I don't live in a low humidity environment.

Pardon me for asking question which is our of the topic but I am so deeply curious about DrG's profile photo. Who is this woman??? Can't do anything till I won't get the answer. Please, tell me, beg you

Haha, many have asked. it's a pic of Maggie Q (from Nikita, Die Hard 4). My lil girl happened to see a pic of Maggie on my computer and she called her mommy (since my wife looks like Maggie) so I switch my avatar. It was Freddie Prinz Jr before (since back in 2011 somebody paid 0.01BTC for people to switch their pic). I'm a whore for BTC lol.

In an open air case that has non metallic base, are Stand-offs for MOBO really needed?
Is there any big reason why you think the HDD and PSU's should be fixed with screws instead of having them loose but steady?

Are the standoffs nesaccary, probably not, but they cost almost nothing, why are you even asking.

Yes you should secure the powersupply and hdd with screws, again not expensive or very time consuming but makes it alot easier if you need to move them.
