A case without MOBO mounts?

[Raphael Argus]

My uncle just gave me two old ATX cases with PSU's. I have a couple Old P3-600 CPUs with MOBO's I wanted to pop in and give to some family members. Looking inside the case, it does NOT have any screw holes to mount the motherboards. It just has these weird square openings. Anyone have any ideas what these are or how to still go about mounting a MOBO in one?

I was considering putting long thin bolts through the motherboards and screwing a nut onto it from the other side of the case. Inside the case there are still 3 nice rubber stoppers to ground the things out. Would that work?

as long as theres not that much vibration and theres no risk of it slipping out

Looks like I don't even have long enough bolts. I'd probably end up paying $5 for bolts when you can buy cheap ATX cases nowadays for $10. The case is just odd, there must have been something that fit in the squares and seated the motherboards. Oh well, nothing lost, thanks for the help Silver.
