I'm sure they have many many of them. Other sources in the Central Vermont area: * Here (rbTechnologies). I've got hundreds, all carefully organized by thread, head type etc. Gawd I'm anal sometimes. * State Surplus - Richard is a great guy if you can stand the dirty jokes, and they see thousands, if not tens of thousands of computers through there every year, many of which are junk. * Any office with an IT department and a staff of geek(s). They're often as anal as I am :) Good luck! Rubin On Sun, 2008-07-20 at 18:48 -0400, Bradley Holt wrote:Stan, Excellent, I will send him an email!

I looked up Burlington Green Systems and only found a website and a phone number, no address or hours. But, the website is wonky in Firefox on Ubuntu (several links seem to show the exact same content) so perhaps the info is there and I just can't see it.

So, I went searching for them both online and at local hardware stores. That turned out to be quite the wild goose chase. First of all, can someone confirm that the standard hard drive mounting screw size is 6-32 x .15"? Second, does anyone know where I can get these screws locally or online without paying more for shipping than for the product itself? I've tried Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace, Newegg, and StarTech.com (both Newegg and StarTech.com have them but the shipping is ridiculous and/or it's bundled with a bunch of other stuff I don't want). Alternatively, does anyone have sixteen of these they'd like to sell? I'm surprised there isn't a local computer shop that sells these sorts of accessories (or maybe there is and I just don't know about it).
