I'm building an open air pc and I'm planning on screwing my motherboard right into some wood.
I have seen conflicting opinions on the internet between needing to still use brass standoffs in wooden cases or just screwing the motherboard right into the wood. I'd rather keep it simple and avoid using epoxy with standoffs or putting standoffs into inserts. The wooden boards I'm using aren't that thick so at best I'd have to epoxy standoffs into the boards.
If wood isn't conductive, as long as there isn't any humidity in my room (I have an AC unit in the window) and I make sure the wood doesn't get wet do I really need to use standoffs?
I have read that the PSU grounds the motherboard properly as long as it's plugged into the wall (and into the motherboard of course). As long as I keep the motherboard plugged into the PSU and am careful not to touch it...I shouldn't have an issue with it grounding correct?
