Standoffs for acrylic?
Vigo:
Big Box-O-Machine screws = My best friend with these kind of projects. ;D
Franco B:
Depends if you want the bolt heads showing on the other side or not....
I often use acrylic with counterbored holes to make mounts:

I found a way that I think will work. It's just a mini-itx board, so it should be secure enough.
I'll glue some of these flat plastic standoffs.

I've found that clips like those are a pain in the arse. The ones I've used would bend rather then pushing through the hole. I would personally use a screwed in solution, but I don't see why those standoffs wouldn't work.

I generally get a little piece of pex pipe from the plumbing area of home depot. Just a toilet supply tube or something for a dollar, gives me about 50 standoffs.
