They are pretty easy to find any electronics parts shop should have them or you can use small rubber gromits.

yeah, you're in MI, so there should be a CompUSA near you...dunno if Egghead is around you, but there's one....find a new/used computer sales shop, look in the yellow pages under used computer equipment.

Can't lay your hands on any PCB Feet?  You need some BYOPCBF (Build Your Own Printed Circuit Board Feet)

Just get a tiny piece of plastic tubing and run a wood screw through it.  Get a screw with the top bit of the shaft smooth, so the threads don't bite into your PCB.  For the little piece of plastic tubing nylon bushings ought to do it, or mabye a rubber grommet, as suggested above.  Any plastic tubing the right inner diameter will do, you can cut the length to fit.  The picture says it better than I can:

...Just get a tiny piece of plastic tubing...

I used the shaft of a cheap plastic pen, cut to the desired length.  You can get all 4 stand-offs from one pen :)
