Derek,<br><br>We, CCSI (Computer & Control Solutions, Inc.) on Buford Hwy ~ 0.5 mi North of Sugarloaf have many pounds of computer screws (like on the order of 50#) from various builds over the years in several lengths and head configurations. I also have a stash at home in Fayetteville, GA. If either location would be convenient, come on by and I'll be happy to donate a handful.<br>
<br>Meanwhile, 3.5" hard drives universally have 6/32 screws and there is probably a metric equivalent but not sure what that would be.<br><br>Regards,<br>Greg Clifton<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 13, 2011 at 7:09 PM, Derek Atkins <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:warlord@mit.edu">warlord@mit.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
When my 3.5" HDDs arrived the other day and I went to mount them into my<br>
drive trays I noticed that the trays only had 2 screws each. Obviously<br>
the drives would be more secure with 4 screws each. All my supplies are<br>
in boxes at the moment, so.. does anyone know where I can acquire 4 HDD<br>
mounting screws in the next few days? (I certainly wouldn't mind paying<br>
a few dollars for them, or even mail-ordering them).<br>
<br>
The screws I have appear to be the "flat head" variety, ~3/16" long, with<br>
a very thin head.<br>
