Like the title states, I need all new standoffs and screws for my system. Two of them don't match up all the sudden. :confused: Where can I go to buy them? I need 10 pairs, probably 20 just to have extras.

TIA for the info.

There is a Fry's in DFW about 30 mins. from where I live. Think they'll carry them?

You might have to buy a computer "kit", but it should cost no more then $10 for a bunch or standoffs, screws, etc...

Get friendly with those mom&pop computer repair shops local to you. Often they will let you have a bunch for cheap - or even free. We did that (back when I ran one of those shops).

Alternately...

99 cent pack of stnadoffs, screws and 80 wire IDE cable

Don't know how much shipping would cost, but if you needed to get a few, shipping will end up being cheap for the bunch (seeing as Geeks doesn't have a shipping per unit, but per order).

Thanks to you both for your help. But I wound up finding some at Mountain Mods earlier and got the specs of the screws. I got two 3mm x 6.5mm screws from Lowe's and they worked. I'm all set now.
