    Where Can I Buy Hard Drive Mounting Screws?
    « on: July 14, 2008, 07:53:20 PM »
    I've Googled, called, inquired, guessed, begged, pleaded, cajoled - you name it - I can't find a source for hard drive mounting screws, especially the 6-32 UNC safety screws for attaching rails for mounting 3.5 inch drives in 5.25 inch bays.  These are the ones which prevent the screw from damaging the hard drive itself.  My local mom and pop computer repair shop owner will appreciate it very much if someone can point me to a seller of these elusive items.

      Xavier:  You're a lifesaver.  I can't believe it was that simple.  I must have tried every way except that to find them.  Thanks so much.

          Squall_01:  The cyberguys.com site had an even better deal.  I ordered an assortment of PC hardware for less than $15, delivered.  The Newegg.com deal (I buy a lot of stuff from Newegg, and I really respect their professionalism) was good, but it was a little more expensive.  Thanks again to both of you for your help.  I had totally given up on finding these very hard to locate pieces.
