Putting a motherboard in a new case, grounding it question
I built a new case for my computer out of aluminum, when I welded up the sides to the bottom, I didn't have enough weight pressing down so the bottom became warped. The case has a slight bulge in the middle.
Now to my question. I want to place the motherboard into the case, but I realize that if any part of the motherboard is touching the aluminum case, it's going to cause problems and probably fry the mb.
What can I do to keep this from happening? I have motherboard mounts to suspend the mb, but would it be safe to put something underneath the motherboard such as fiberglass or another material that wouldn't conduct? Just in case the motherboard does happen to hit the bulge in the bottom of the case it would hit that instead of the aluminum?
Any suggestions, information, or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
