Tell me, are the edges of the sheet-metal sharp?  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.  TTYL!
