Screw issues

[VivienM]

Okay, so I buy my case (Antec Solo) today, and figure I might as well start putting stuff in so it'll be ready when the C2D finally shows up.

I finally manage to get my board in (P5W Deluxe), and then I realize that I accidentally used two "small" screws (the kind used for HDDs, etc) instead of two big mobo screws for two of the holes at the bottom of the board.

Now, I'm trying to get them out, but it seems they won't come out... it seems the small screws ARE properly in the standoffs and everything, but screwed in some unscrewable way.

What do I do?

Maybe I posted too soon... managed to get one out now... let's try the other...

Second screw (bottom left... right near the PCI slot) is still resisting.

Woohoo, got the second one out and replaced with a proper mobo screw...

Please excuse this noob moment. I don't build rigs often enough it seems

Exactly how much vodka did you put in that screwdriver anyway?

Hmm... vodka in a motherboard. That would redefine liquid cooling, wouldn't it?

You are screwed

you almost got screwed by a screw which you screwed wrong using a screwdriver.
