Question Motherboard standoffs

I am in the process of compiling components for my new AMAZING build. Okay it's not 4000USD amazing, just better than the one in my sig. And the big problem I had with my last build was the Powmax case didn't come with enough brass standoffs. And the mobo I bought didn't come with any. So I went to look for standoffs on newegg and couldn't find any.
Raidmax case - http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...factory=BROWSE
ASUS A8N-E motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...131-530&depa=1
I looked on on each of the manufacturers sites to see if they came with enogh brass stand offs. I couldn't find out. So if anyone knows the answer to this would you help me out. Either show me where I can buy some standoffs or tell me I don't need to worry.
Thanx

Quality cases come with the standoffs! Check closely before you buy to make sure they come with it. They won't come with the motherboard.

RaidMax isn't much better than PowMax...have you looked at cases from Antec, AOpen, Chenbro, Enlight, Inwin or Thermaltake? They'll come with all the standoffs necessary.

But if you want the RaidMax and want to be sure you have enough standoffs, you can get them from here.

If you run into difficulties pm me, I keep small handy packs of motherboard hardware, I get them from one of my suppliers and I can pop one in the post to you, they are only a few dollars.

Make sure you check the mother board manual for the mounting hole layout. many mother board have extra holes in them that are not for mounting screws.

You could contact either the retailer or the manufacturer of the case you bought that it did not have enough stand offs, I bet they would mail them to you. The case must have been packed on a monday.
