Based on this new picture, my screws have a flat head (similar to A) but
look more like B or E in terms of the stem.  They need a flat head in
order to get behind the drive tray rails.  A head like B, C, or D wont
fit.  The E head *may* fit, but my screws look thinner.

I live in Midtown, but sometimes have business in Dunwoody and Sandy
Springs, but I'd prefer not to drive all the way to Duluth if I can
avoid it.  Worst case I could probably drive out to Microcenter in
Marietta (it's a bit closer).
