Never having seen one correctly assembled, I don't know.  The back panel
with all the ports is attached to the motherboard, with plastic bezel
and captive screws. In the bottom of the case, under the motherboard,
are various metal formings, which appear to have interacted with other
things at some point.  I do not have anything to hold the bottom of the
motherboard off the bottom of the case. I can see where plastic rails
would be, and I also see a raised spot under the center of the
motherboard which seems to have had something attached to it from the
wear marks.  So I guess I am talking about the plastic rails, I was
picturing something larger than that, because the spot in the middle
must have something to keep the motherboard from touching and shorting.
