Where do I get case screws and other stuff?

[eqjones]

I'm missing some case screws! I've looked around on line and all I can seem to find are 'thumbscrews.' for $1 to $0.50 each, plus S&H which makes them real expensive. I went to Lowes (big hardware store chain) and they didn't have any. I'm sure Home Depot probably doesn't have them either. So does anyone know where I can get these things?

Also hard drive mounting screws I think are a finer thread than the case screws, where can I get those?

Also, the metal strips that go in the card slots when a card isn't in there, where can I get those?

Also, I needed a case asap so, I bought one from CompUSA a couple years ago. It has these real thin and crappy metal risers for the mother board. I'd like to replace them, if I can, with those brass risers, you know they are hex shaped and screw into the mb plate and then has a screw hole for the motherboard screw. I think these thin and crappy metal risers that came with the case conduct electricity and I'm using these washers under the motherboard to prevent it from shorting. I'm not sure if they came with the case or an old motherboard, pretty sure they came with the case since I've never seen them with the motherboard stuff. Anyways, also need to find those brass risers screws, any ideas?

Thanks

I don't have time atm to go through all of Cyberguys, but so far it's what I'm looking for.

I'd love to look at competitors too, if anyone got any more places to shop

Thanks alot!

I'm really surprised Lowe's doesn't have the screws you are looking for. I work at an Ace Hardware, and I know we have screws used in a normal cases and in hdd's. I'm not saying that Lowe's does, but I think it would be worth checking out more "normal" hardware stores to see if you can find what you need. We sell the screws for <5 cents, it would be nice if you could find them at a local store.

Thanks Ill check Ace and Home Depot. I heard that Radio Shack has them, but they aren't <5 cents each there.
