Looking for assorted PC parts

Anyone know a cheap place to get various odds & ends, like screws in bulk, back plates, cable thumbscrews, stand-off, connectors etc.

I had once come across a website called cableguys or something, who IIRC seemed to stock a large variety of odds & ends with good prices. Can't find their site.

Any suggestions?

TIA



 
Not to be an ass, but the only thing I can think of is eBay.. but I am sure there are some other places out there.

That is a good suggestion but usually shipping is a killer on ebay. I'm hoping someone will know that site I have in mind. They had an extensive selection. Wish I had bookmarked it.



 
Will be hard to find a place that sells that stuff with out paying more for shipping then the product is worth...best to find a local retailer
 
All of the screws used in your case are standard UNC machine screws that can be purchased at any hardware store.

For the rest of that I will echo the sentiment of the above posters and recommend a small local computer shop.

I believe that is what you were looking for.

Thank you :beer: 😀

That is exactly what I was looking for.

I agree with everyone that shipping is usually more than the part itself, but the only B&M store with a decent selection (apart from Crapusa) is Microcenter which is about an hour's drive for me. I intend to order a decent amount of stuff to average out the shipping.

Klah I tried looking for case screws (#6-32 x 1/4" long) in hardware stores but could not find them. Even McMaster Carr does not have them. Eventually got this kit from Microcenter for $19

Looking for general stuff, mainly blank slot covers, thumb screws, cable thumb screws, cable labels, washers, port covers etc etc. And if I can find them, replacement 3-wire tails for panaflo fans. Small inexpensive stuff thats hard to find locally but handy to have. I'd rather buy them all from one place to save shipping.
