Now the two flush rubber feet are installed with nylon screws.

Trim the nylon screws so they are flush with the inside of the case. It's probably easiest to do this with a small pair of diagonal cutting pliers, but I used a sharp blade I had handy.

Prepare the flip out feet by installing the rubber bases and the nylon screws. You trim the nylon screws on these, as well.

Next, all of the standoffs are mounted on the back of the case. There are two different size screws, so make sure you use the correct ones. Leave these a little loose for now to help aligning the board a few steps later.
