i-PAC mounting question

LeedsFan:
For the standoffs I've used black rubber wiring grommets. Cheap and they are all the same size. Saves cutting up a pen holder.
alfonzotan:
I spent a few cents at the hardware story on plastic spacers, but the "cut up a pen" method is perfectly workable. 
MonMotha:
I have some 1/4" OD aluminum tubing I cut up for spacers when I want something sturdy.  If I want something non-conductive, polyethylene or PVC tubing works pretty well.  I'd recommend a small tubing cutter if you're going to do more than a few.  In the end, it's not much cheaper than buying spacers, but you get the length you need when you want it without having to stock/order a bunch of different sizes, and the tubing/tubing cutter is useful for other purposes.

Thanks guys. After looking more closely I see that a lot of builds do exactly what I was talking about.

We're got a surplus store near my office that sells rubber spacers for .03 so I'll go grab a few of those.

i used a hot glue stick cut into small chunks with a hole drilled in the middle.
