Hello

Does anyone know where I can buy screws to fit a new hdd in my antec 1200 case? I got my rig of OCUK in Oct 2008 and I never received any screws with my order. I didn't notice back then and my warranty has expired.

I looked on ebay, couldn't find anything, Its annoying because my new samsung F3 1TB just arrived and I really wanna install it!
 
Drop Antec an email requesting details about the screws you require, ie. the long ones for the h/drive cages or short for the 5 1/4 bay adaptor and you never know they might just send you some.

This screw type looks very similar to the antec 1200 hdd mounting screw can anyone confirm this?

edit: OCUK wont let the url post properly. It is described as a 15mm fan fixing screw set on the m@plin webpage

What a good morning. I asked OCUK if they could send me some screws yesterday. I woke up this morning and there they were by my front door. Very impressed with the customer service here as my systems is way out of its one year warranty so OCUK were not obliged to help me out...yet they did.

Now only if my HDD which I ordered from somewhere else (regrettably) decides to show up..UPS are idiots they delivered it to someone elses house now they have to go pick it up and bring it to me...

To answer my own question, [Overclockers competitor mentioned previously] do not sell any appropriate screws. The screws need to be 25mm long with coarse thread but they only sell the fine threaded type.

Antec quoted me 13.50 EUR for replacement screws but reduced it to 10 EURO when I said that's ridiculous. I still think 10 EURO is ridiculous but I'm not sure where else I can find them.

I'll have a check and see if I can find out the thread type for you mate, might be able to get you some. Might take a while as I'm back in on nights and really need to be on dayshift to sort it.

Don't order them in especially - I don't mind paying for them, it's just that Antec's price is extortionate.

Don't worry matey I won't be paying for them either as I reckon the fella thats supplies us will do them as a favour :) Oh and I agree about the Antec price.

You in a hurry for them ?

OK cool. I have an SSD that I can't mount without these screws so the sooner the better.

Annoyingly I have one screw but that won't do the drive any good if it's only supported on one side!

OK mate I'll leave word tomorrow night and see if I can sort you some. If it's just for a SSD can't you use the Antec adaptor with a SSD caddy and mount it in one of the 5.250 drive bays, thats what I did with mine>
