It's a matter of preference I think.  I haven't seen any installation where
it made any difference.  The screw grounds itself to the case when you screw
it in by making contact on the bottom of the motherboard, so it seems to me
not to make any difference.

Does anyone know of a good website and/or book that has instructions on
installing a motherboard properly.  The reason I ask is because I am
unsure as to where to use the little washers that come with the screws.
Do they go on top of, or below, the motherboard when mounting on the
brass mounting screws? It's not a major problem, but I do not want to
short circuit a motherboard because of ignorance.

Thanks in advance...
Robert
