Xigmatek Case Standoffs

[Steyr69]

Hi folks,

Not sure where to post....I guess should be here.
I got hold of a Xigmatek Case.....used but looks like in good condition.
It should be old model because cannot find on their website.
Looks a bit like Midgard II.

I tried putting on brass standoffs which I have on hand....
(these fits perfectly well with my no brand casing).

unfortunately, it is not a good fit....cannot completely screw in.

are Xigmatek casing using special standoffs?

Standoffs are either 6-32UNC of M3 thread.

If the one you're using is fine thread, that's M3 type, 6-32UNC type are slightly bigger in diameter and the thread are coarser, HDD screws are 6-32UNC.

And I always thought there is only 1 standard type of standoff for PC case. Learnt something new today.

ok.....

think the normal combo is this
6.5mm Brass 6-32 Standoff Riser Screws and M3 screws

I stuck a M3 screw in the mobo panel hole and it fits well...

So, it needs a M3 thread brass standoff.....which I surprisingly dun have.
First time encounter this.

Tmr go SLS ask.
Thanks.

Thats what I thought too.

6.5mm Brass 6-32 Standoff Riser Screws and M3 screws

This is the normal combo.

But I ever encounter another type which bring to SLS but no shop has it.
It is a PERX casing....very old type.

The exact dimension for this is 6-32 x 1/4" (6.35mm) x M3 (internal thread)

Commonly found in older casings (Pentium and prior era) are 6-32 x 1/4" x 6-32 (internal) type. The screw for fastening the motherboard are using those for the HDDs as well but button head type. Now almost all casings are using either M3 x M3 x 6mm long or 6-32UNC x 1/4" (6.35mm) x M3 (internal) standoffs.
