I have a tight squeeze with the work I'm doing in my case right now and finding some replacement "slim-line" screws to mount the hard drive would really save some hassle. They have that bulky head, you know, so I'm looking for something that's more like a regular, flatter screw head. I compared them to all the other electronic and non-electronic related screws I have around, and none are a match. I even called my local over-priced "computer builders' warehouse," but no dice.

I'm sure I can find some somewhere with a lot of footwork and visual comparison, but perchance one of you has a simple answer?

Thanks,

Thanks. I ended up being able to use some super simple screws from the hardware store - 6/32 flat head machine screws. I was worried the threading would be difficult to find, but it was pretty mundane. And cheap. Like, under a dollar for more than a dozen. With nuts I can use later. Whee!
