yo im buildin this computer and my case did not ship with rubber washers. and it says nothing about rubber washers in the directions to mount the motherboard. i was wondering if this case does not need rubber washers i bought and NZXT Apollo case. the case did include brass standoffs and the case says "place your motherboard on top of the brass standoffs and attach it to the tray using screws provided."
Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811146026
Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813186098

I never used any rubber washers and I am fine. Until now i have never even heard of someone using rubber washers for a computer.

Almost if not all new motherboards dont need washers. Older motherboards would have traces running where you the nut/screw would go. On newer motherboards theres usually a silver area around the hole where there are no traces, so you dont need to worry about shorting.
