Ok guys

Im a happy guy now. Just got my mobo.

Now my case is being painted at a body shop all gloss black.
I want to set my system up before i get my case back to make sure all works before stuffing all the water cooling into it and find out it wont post.
Ive never started up a system with out case before. I see all the time in photos and i just want to make sure i do it right.

Now my questions

Do i just set the mobo and all other components on the table or do i need something under it?

preferably u would need an anti static mat underneath...if u cant find 1 then at least get some foam or sponge and put the mobo on it

well...ideally you would want to screw the motherboard down on something that would ground it like a removable motherboard tray or something like that. but ive done it with the MB just sitting on my desk with no problems at all. just be carefull to not let it touch anything that might short it out.
