Need Help! in Finding These Gold Circular Standoffs

[gatewayrepairs1985]

Hi all,

I hope you are doing well. I am in need of these gold, circular motherboard standoffs. I have included a picture of them in use and a close-up photo. Does anybody here know where I can find them? Or suitable replacements for them? I also need these horizontal motherboard clips pictured at the top of the motherboard photo. A close up photo is attached of them as well. These both come from a Gateway 2000 Tower. Any help on where I could locate these or a suitable replacement for these would be greatly appreciated, thank you! Stay safe!

I've seen those plastic side supports before, but never those bizarre looking brass standoffs.

Back when AT style motherboards were common, we used plastic retainers like these:

Motherboard standoff. Lot of 10Motherboard standoff snap in type standard for AT mother boards. M3 motherboard standoff.

Problem is finding the correct length, because they were never standardized. That problem irritatingly carried over into the ATX era with screw standoffs being all over the place.

As for those side supports, I don't know the exact name for them. I'm sure if you mash together the right keywords, they'll magically appear in ebay's search, but they elude my efforts to find them.

Well, the difference between spacers and standoffs (very generally speaking) is that spacers aren't threaded. So the edge-mounting spacer can be found (at least one example) here

On the brass standoffs, I'm not quite sure that I see them in the last photo. I see "button end" spaces, but not the brass ones.

I would think that the plastic snap in spacers that GiGaBiTe mentioned would work in this case. They should slot into those button holes just like the brass ones, just may have to do a little trial and error to get some that are the correct height.

Thanks for the helpful replies everyone!
Yes, the brass standoffs are quite strange. I will try GiGaBiTe’s suggestion and see if those work. I’ll let you all know how it goes!
