I'm building a system and the case came with a bag of screws and six of
these little two-part plastic things, one part like a rivet and the
other a sleeve.  And, of course, no reference to them.  They don't seem
to fit in the mb mounting holes.

I've built several systems and they've never had these things.  Anyone
know what they are?  Thanks.

They're for the 'sliding' holes that are in your case, and which corresponds
to a hole in the mainboard. Its an old system, not really frequently used
anymore. MB's used to be stuck to the case with mainly hese buggers. A pain
to get out of your mainbord too... now its mostly those metal screw-ins
which take a screw through the mb.
