    Not enough standoff screws

    I am having a friend put together a computer for me, bought all the parts off of newegg but when it got there, he found it didn't have enough standoff screws with it. It only had 2, and i've searched high and low for a place where i can buy them. I found some 10mm ones at radioshack but they were too long. Can anyone at all tell me where i can find some of these things? I'd rather not have to return it but that's what ill do if i have to

    Re: Not enough standoff screws

    Unfotunately, the Egg isn't the optimum place for standoffs, either 6-pack or some big screw kit (unless I missed some), but this place is pretty good on ship lil pricey. I've given you their full Mobo SO listing, to decide on what you want.

    Penewah!

    I'm surprised, every HEC case I have gotten has come jammed with SOs.

    Re: Not enough standoff screws

    1.  Complain to the case manufacturer.

    2. Newegg...but there is only 6 standoffs ("nuts"). 

    Freedom's the Answer.
    What's the Question?

    Re: Not enough standoff screws

    Your case has the standoffs built into the mobo. (All those bumps) The mobo screws right into them.

    Hopefully you read this before waiting a week for standoffs to show up and nothing lines up lol.
