Arkanoid to Mame project.

So im gutting my pc to put it into the cab, for heat reasons, and im running into the problem of the perifial cards (and some solder points on the motherboard) hitting the wood. No hardware store in the area sells spacers. I was going to use metal washers but fear that that may cause a short, any suggestions.

If you get a Bic pen like the one in the link:

You can pull out the cartridge, then cut the hollow plastic tube into 1/2" pieces and use them as spacers. just use 1" wood screws or 1" sheet metal screws.

That's a brilliant idea. That's going in the mental filing cabinet for future reference.

Awsome idea i will try that later tonight if i get around to it.

I haven't read anything about this, but do most people take the computer out of the case and just mount it in their cab for heat reasons? I've seen a number of people do it, and come to think of it I haven't seen anyone not do it, so is that pretty standard practice?
