    Question about screw

    Hi mmo-champ! Its me again with a brand new question; Alright i would like to know if you guys know what type of screw it is and/or where i could find them
    They are black, special head for rubber hole on my left side pannel, not every screw fit there and they only sent 4. I need 16..I already got a RMA number for it but i cannot wait anymore, they are very long and goin to just buy them if i can.




    Many thanks for your time/answer
    Also let me know if you need more info.

    Almost looks similar to a standard fan screw type of thread

    Check your local store that may carry pc parts

    They are fan mount screws specifically designed to to mount the fans through the rubber grommets in the side panel. A lot like the screws used to mount drives in the older Antec HDD bays. Since you need 16, I assume you are mounting four 120mm fans on the panel. If your using a tall cooler like the hyper 212+, make sure your going to have enough clearance. Also, maxing out the fans isn't going to necessarily improve your air flow and/or drop temps. You'll probably just make your system louder.
