Nick, Funny you should mention that, I just ordered one of those this morning to have on-hand for future builds. The reason I didn't order one at first was because I wasn't sure how many of the other parts in it I'd need and I couldn't tell from the description how many of the screws I needed it included. It turns out there are 50 of each type of screw (which is plenty for what I need) so I went ahead and ordered one. At least with the free shipping from Newegg I'm not paying more for shipping than I am for parts (even if I don't need most of the parts).
