Help! Where can I find these screws / what are they called?

TheBigCheese · 14 Nov 2008 at 10:38

Hi guys

I've got 5 Antec 900 cases which I'm in the process of adding additional HDDs to....

Unfortunately I seem to have misplaced the bag that contained the long screws to hold them in place...where on earth can I find replacement screws, and do they have a special name?

They are 25mm long and fit through little holes in the 5.25" mounting bay to secure the HDDs. Apparently they are between M3 and M4 sizes which gives them the dubious title (from what I can find online) of being called a 'PC screw'.

Does anyone know of a more technical name for them or where I might be able to get them?

Many thanks in advance

25mm long? i usually use the smaller ones for cd drives and hdd's.
25mm's are usually used for fans?

I know where you could get them (and every other type of pc screw) but we're not allowed to post links to the competition on here

You could try the likes of B&Q. I know ours sell screws/bolts that small.

Are they like these ones? http://www.antec.com/Detail.bok?no=591

The Antec spares website is pretty good for things like this, but i couldnt find the same screws for the 900.

Hmm no, ive never seen those lol. Must be Antec specific

the ones for the 900 are pretty big thumb screws, i've not seen them elsewhere but you could look at a pack of thumbscrews usally used for the back of cases.

Edit: Ignore me im thinking of the screws that keep the cages in place.
