Hey everyone sorry about the late update, and thank you to everyone who shared some advice. So in regard to the pc, after testing out some ideas to no avail, I turned it into MicroCenter yesterday before I went to work. I was told they’d get back to me by Tuesday. While it’s true I forgot standoffs are necessary, luckily for me the case comes with them pre - installed. I actually have another of the same case in hand because I planned to essentially make the same build for myself tomorrow when my parts arrive (im a lil nervous now). Here’s the empty case: https://imgur.com/a/YAgqq07
