Where Find Motherboard Thumb Screws

Post by groundnull » Fri Sep 01, 2006 7:47 pm

I know they exist, just don't know where to find them.

Does anyone know where to buy motherboard thumbscrews for the standoffs?

Thanks.

Motherboard thumb screws do not exist.

The closest that you will get a is a screwless motherboard fixing solution in Theramltake Xaser Wingo cases that uses a special extra tall stand-off that you hook the board over and a plastic pin that locks the board in place.

Compared to the normal stand-off/screw combo, they are not worth it as they would make it hard to install the motherboard on the IO-Shield side.
