Instead, Thermaltake offers some small bumps as mainboard spacers, not a wise solution in my opinion. In any case, finding some motherboard spacers is not very difficult.

The cables for front panel LEDs and connectors have a good length and can easily reach the motherboard. Installing two extra expansion slots at the back was not a problem and still, there is a lot of empty space left as you can see below:
