??? The "Standoffs"? They keep the back side of the MoBo from shorting out against the case.

Otherwise - I have no clue what you are talking about...

you probably don't want to rip them off because they're connected to stuff on the other side, maybe you could clip them so they don't stick out so far....but why?

hmmm yeah, i dont know what all the pins are, but lol, i find it slightly amusing that so far everyone's been like "pins on he back of the mb? where?" lol i know you guys know what im talking about. you're just thinking "i must be missing something he cant be talking about just the pins on the back of the motherboard why would he want to remove those?"

lol
