Switched computer case, no longer starts

[Salmon Trout]

one side is magnetic

One side of what?

[Salmon Trout]

Although I.m still not quite sure on the mounts

You just won't be told, will you? The instructions are "rubbish" (They say "use the standoffs") We tell you "use the standoffs" (You don't believe us) You changed the case because you were "bored"... You must have a load of money to waste.

And what's this "magnetic" stuff?

[Coming_down]

Oh, I completely intend to use the stand offs. And, I hope I don't sound ungrateful, because I appreciate all the help you've given me a great deal. I just don't -understand- the stand offs. I've always just screwed the motherboard down, and bam that's that. The brass stand offs I have have a tiny screw on one side and ire magnetic on the otherside. So does that mean I screw it in from underneath the motherbooard, and let the magnets keep it in place? I have no idea. Never seen them used.

[Salmon Trout]

Standoffs are so usual, I don't know what you mean when you say you never saw them used before. Also, we must be using different versions of the English language, because in my universe, only ferrous metals such as iron and steel can be magnetic, and never brass.

I think he's making it up about the magnets.

[Coming_down]

Well you are right. They're not magnetic. I thought they were, not sure why, but they're not.  Still it doesn't change the fact the none of my old cases (all themaltake.) have ever used them before and so I don't know how to use them. However at this point, I'm just going to say thanks for your help; I've learned a lot, and I'll figure the rest out myself.
