So I didn't recall installing mobo standoffs in my PC and I kinda panicked when I found out that you have to use them.

 

I went through all the pain of dissembling my entire PC and ruined my cable management and stuff, only to find out that for some reason I already had motherboard standoffs installed.

Could it be that the case came with standoffs preinstalled? 

 

My case is NZXT S340

Most cases come with them pre-installed, some give it in a box of accessories, the NZXT cases install them from the factory from what I've seen.
