$5 for 20

They also have other bits-and-bobs that I previously had a hard time finding (like drive rails).

Home Depot and Lowes generally don't stock screws that are short enough for use in computers. Local Mom-And-Pop Hardware stores do most of the time.

Click to expand...

I take apart enough old machines to fill a kiddy pool with screws...

I only go there to occasionally check out their cases and they were the only site I could remember off the top of my head.

That reminds me, I need to buy those drive rails...
