Hi, im building a wall mounted pc, I need to know where to place the motherboard standoffs on the wood, don't have the motherboard yet so cant measure that way. Also if there's a guide for this please post it. Thank you for your help.

I suggest using a Motherboard Tray.

You should also be aware of the fire hazard.

ATX is ATX. Start with a standard case, and measure from that.
Buy something for $20.

If you mount standoffs on wood make sure that at least some of MB screws or standoffs are grounded.

Standoffs are 6mm high, usually with 3mm thread.

The ATX spec is linked above. It shows the spacing for the screws, etc.

Or, buy a very cheap case, cut it up and use it as a template.

It would be much easier to place MB on it's base like that piece of wood or a piece of paper and mark thru the holes on the MB.
