Can anyone else confirm that I don't need to use standoffs?

If your motherboard tray does indeed look like the picture posted by erocker, then you don't need stand offs.

Bit of bad news is that those built in bumps tend to strip out their thread by the 2nd or 3rd time you unscrew your motherboard.

I also tried posting the mobo while outside the case with the same results.

Either way the standoffs are no longer the issue.
