I just finished my build with that case and there aren't any washers or anything that needs to be placed under the motherboard.
The first thing I would do would be to remove the motherboard and do a bare bones setup and see if you can get it to post. Place the motherboard on a piece of cardboard, 1 stick of ram, CPU, monitor and power supply only. See if you can get it to post. You'll have to short the two power pins on the board to turn it on though.

The ones you linked to are the ones that I used in my build and haven't had any problems at all. Perhaps it wasn't lined up properly with the standoffs? You have to push the motherboard back into the plate to get proper alignment.

I wonder if the back I/O panel... (use the one that comes with the MB and not the one that comes with the case)... there are protrusions that stick out from them acting like tension springs for some reason. Often times the protrusion for the onboard LAN hangs really low in front of the LAN plug itself. This can actually cause it to go into the LAN plug-in on the MB and make contact.
Anyway, make sure these are lined up properly around the back I/O panel items and that none of the "protrusions" are sticking into the I/O plugs themselves.
Hope that describes what I am referring to well enough, there are not really any terms for what I am trying to tell you about.
Otherwise, if it is happening with touching your video card I would suggest removing it and re-inserting it. You may not have a good contact - ie. not seated in the slot properly.
