I am building a new computer and would like to get it going to day. the standoffs  
that came with the case were too short. So I found some longer ones but they were too long. So I went to value to buy some washers but forgot my wallet so I scrounged up enough change to buy 9 washers of the proper thickness. I install the washers under the standoffs and tighten everything down. Install the motherboard and what do I find? 7 out of the 9 standoffs have fucked up threads in them and you can’t insert a screw into them. Does anyone have any or know where I can get them today?

I live at sherdin and delaware basically.
