Motherboard grounding question

I just finished assembling the wooden computer case I will be using to house my new cmp2 system.

Looking at the mobo, I see that the screw holes seem to have some conductive elements and since normal computer cases are metal i am assuming that the motherboard in a normal case gets grounded when one screws it into the case.

Is this true, and if so for those of you who have also built a case of wood, how did you handle the grounding?

On a similar note I was thinking of using t-shield for some shielding and it was recommended that I tie the shielding into the ground on the psu. Is that correct, and would I also tie in the mobo at this point too??

And did you screw the mobo right into the wood, or did you use some kind of stand off so the mobo was slightly above the wood? If so what did you use for a stand off?

TIA
