I couldn't find regular length screws so I had to get extra long screws to screw into my standoffs. Mobos pretty stable but it can move up and down a little if I press on it

It still work?

I would guess that as long as you don't shake your desk a lot it will be ok but honestly if I were you, I'd find some normal screws. Order them if you have to.

how did neither your case or motherboard include the screws though, or if they did why do you no longer have them

lol it's not a normal build. See I upgraded my computer piece by piece over the years. After 7 years I've ship of Theseus'd myself a new computer with the leftover parts, that is, my old computer.

I'm putting together my old PC parts as a computer for my parents.

oh yeah that makes sense then

Anyway if you have a Home Depot nearby you can probably get the necessary screws for real cheap.

Oh yeah actually Home Depot is where I went lol. I couldn't find 1/4" screws so I got the 1/2" ones.

It really doesn't seem to move much unless I force it tho
