I purchased an old ATX computer case, specifically a Gigabyte 3D Aurora. I omitted to include the motherboard standoffs and screws, so I looked for an alternative that comes with them. The product I found includes those components. Could you verify if the standoffs and screws are indeed #6-32 UNC?

It doesn't seem like that section of the case specification was released publicly... I understand some cases substitute M3 for 6-32. It's best to use a thread checker or a standard 6-32 bolt to verify.

That's correct, I just bought them and don't really have any of them right now.

You're not sure of your location, but at any hardware store you'll find a 6-32 bolt for under a dollar.

I had a good chance of locating some mobile phone stands and maybe even a screwdriver. However, it’s important to make sure the screws stay secure—should I add threadlocker to prevent them from loosening?

Unless you're familiar with the 6-32 setup, you could find yourself in a similar bind. You don't need threadlocker if you tighten the standoff to about 10 inches of torque; then the case should remain stable.
