Default Mobo Mounting Holes on Case

Ok, I have a Raidmax Scorpio868. Its a good case but I recently took out the mobo to upgrade and have a new one coming in the mail. I noticed that a couple (2-3) mounting holes are stripped, not the actual standoffs though. Would it be ok to super glue the standoffs in these holes, when the standoffs are tightened as far as they can? Thanks

The mounts or the actual case holes?

It will be OK as long as the glue does not get in contact with the motherboard.

Just use 16-penny nails and a 16-ounce framing hammer.

That's a joke, son.

I tried something like that before but found that a 4lb sledge work's better :freak:

Thanks for the help, figured it would be ok as long as it was not near the mobo.
