Case Screws

[Azndude51]

I just got my Thermaltake Tsunami Dream today from Newegg. It's pretty sweet but there are three different types of screws. Two of them have slightly different threads but still fit into my powersupply, but I don't know which one to use. Can someone who has the case tell me which screws go with which screws go where?

Go here for pics of the screws


There are 8 of the screws on the left and right and 20 of the ones in the middle. Also, what do I do with those extra long screws?

The ones on the right can be used for the power supply (that's what I use when the case doesn't have anything better). The left and middle are for the drives and mobo mounting. The screws (longer, not pictured I assume) are usually for floppy drives.

I typically use the screws that come with devices such as the power supply and optical drive. It eliminates any quess work from the equation.

I used the ones on left for mobo. I like them cause they are fat headed and have the right thread size for standoffs. The screws with the agressive biting head (serrations) are normally for the case or tough metal contacts, helps keep them snug or tightened down.

I didn't use the ones in the middle at all... My PSU came with its own screws also

Ones on the right = PSU / Ones in the middle = mobo / Ones on the left I did not use anywhere

Ones on right = PSU.

I used all thumbscrews for the MoBo as well as Harddrives.

Ones in middle I think I used on floppy drive.

Yea I used the middle ones on floppy drive also. Which ones do you use for mobo mounting?

Out of those, either the middle ones or the ones on the right.

I personally used the thumbscrews for the motherboard. Makes getting them out easier and I had plenty of them
