A metal plate with female-threaded holes matching the common computer screws. I'd like one, also. Really? I never thought of something like this but what is the point of it? It seems illogical: if you can screw the male threaded screw into the female hole, by definition of course the screw fits--but how would you screw the screw in in the first place? By feel? That's the only thing I can think of. A more practical suggestion is to buy screws in little boxes and keep them each in their own place. If you buy screws in boxes it's not a problem. I've never found them for a reasonable price, though. I do have plenty of screws around from various sources, though--but sorting out what is what is another matter! It's a lot easier to test the screw separately than try to screw it in and then find it doesn't work. |

Not quite what you're asking but; http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?MenuNo=12133&page=1 As far as I understand (experience), is that the screws used for HD's are the same as those used for fixing PCI-cards but the HD ones musn't be to long. Said screws appear to be also used for case fixings. The other type of computer screw is that used by floppy-drives and CD (optical) drives). The remaining question is the MoBo screws which may vary as to the PC-case. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_case_screws |
