Alpha 8045 mounting

[Dimitri]

I can't seem to find the nylon standoff washers used for the mobos with bigger holes (like the Soyo Dragon+ I just got) that came with my Alpha HS. Anybody have any suggestions or ideas where I can get these? I couldn't find any at Radio Shack or several hardware stores.

Contact Alpha and see if they will sell you some separately. They also have a list of there resellers. Might contact them for help.

Good luck.

Alpha will probably not send you the washers They are based in Japan, and last I heard, they have an office here... but not likely that they will send them to you.

Were the washers missing from your PAL8045? If so, contact the retailer you got it from and if they are reputable, they will gladly send you the washers.

Not sure if they were missing or I misplaced them. I shot off an email to the place I bought it (2cooltek) asking if he can send me or sell me some. Otherwise this HS is useless to me.

Do you have a craft store like Hobby Lobby or Michael's in your area? Might have something you can modify. Will keep thinking.

After 2 unanswered emails to 2cooltek, I was desperate and sent an email to Alpha directly. Got a reply the next day asking for my address where to ship the washers to. Can't beat that!
