Missing thumb screws and the company won't help

You can get a box of mixed that will keep you going a long while
A guide on motherboard screws and PC mounting hardware - Digital Masta

here is an example 228PCS Computer PC Screw Kit Case For Motherboard Case Fan Hard Disk Notebook | eBay

Attachment 336719

That's a nice little kit there. I too have saved bags over the years of these screws and can always find what I need...but if you don't have the stash this is a great way to be ready.

If you can't find the screws at ACE, try McMaster Carr. They do have every screw known to man.

The tumb screws for my box have a flat side and the thread part is really small like a half a centimeter. There's basically just enough length to keep the glass side panel on. The glass side panel has 4 holes an each corner of the glass that sits on top of 4 circular pegs that are on the box. I'll try to get a video of it later. But I still haven't gotten around to going to ace hardware yet.

Sounds like some screws I have in a Phanteks case. If so, you may have a hard time finding exact replacements. Maybe you'd need a regular screw (not a thumbscrew), perhaps with a washer.

Sorry that you're seeing a (relatively minor) dark side of Craig's List.

I agree with those people who recommend Ace Hardware.
As their commercials used to sing ... "Ace is the place with the helpful hardware man."
That's one of the very few commercials that ring true. They really are helpful.
