I watched that video, and it's pretty good, I'm sure they mentioned standoffs in it? One thing i don't remember them mention is installing a non stock CPU fan.

why do you like to always attack me?

How nice, It's always wonderful to watch you two in a conversation just like this.

They did install one stock fan and one non-stock fan. Also the standoffs came in at the end I think.

Right, must've forgot about it. Anyway my point was it would suck if you installed the mobo then had to take it out to make it easier to install a new back plate for your CPU fan.
Also make sure you put the stand offs in the right holes, your case will come with an instruction booklet that tells you where to put them for your mobo type.
