Standard screws

[Mighty Joe]

Sorry if this post is in the wrong place. I've been looking for drive screws for cd-rom drives and floppies, and regular case screws, but I haven't been able to find a site for it. Is there one? I figured most of the people in this forum have built a custom pc system and dealt with oem products without screws. Where can i look?

The Bag-o-Hardware at 2Cooltek.com (http://2cooltek.safeshopper.com/7/cat7.htm?564) looks like a nice assortment.

I usually have enough extra hardware lying around that I never have to worry about buying screws.

Case screw are 6-32 (#6 screw, 32 threads per inch)
Drive mounting screws, I believe, are usually 4-40. (#4 screw, 40 threads per inch)

Lowes and Home Depot have a good assortment of machine screws if you get in a bind, but be careful... if the screw is too long, it may come into contact with the internal components of the drive. Most any hardware store usually has machine screws too.

The kingofpain is right. Don't waist money buying screws. Go to your local PC shop. They almost always will give you screws, LEDs, ect...
