If so, you got an el-cheapo case. You're better off to buy a new case, and search for one with the least sharp edges. Now, for the standoffs with which to mount the motherboard, they should be inside the case you bought in a small plastic bag that's stuffed full of screws, standoffs, jumpers, etc. If the ATX motherboard won't fit the ATX case, there's something seriously screwy going on.
