What is a “stand off?” Where is the right place to put them?

a stand off is the little metal pedestals that clip onto the case and hold your mother board out away from the case. If you have one in the wrong place, you can burn a hole in the board circuitry.

Umm, the standoffs are usually plastic. They are plastic cylinders used to mount the mother board.
