There's only one kind, and you can't get them from Home Depot. NO screws, or "wrong" screws ?

Are there posts built into the case for the motherboard to install to, or do you need those brass lifter things too.

Scavange some screws from a junk computer ?

i have some spare screws but i just thought that installing them would short circuit the motherboard and i have the filters(brass filter things) that go underneath the motherboard just not the screws that go into them

Use the screws with the flat bottom top like the ones on the bottom right of this picture:

also. if you havent thought of it. it might be a good idea. if you have spare spacers. to stack them. (i plan to do it next time i remove mobo...)

would have more room behind the mobo to hide cables. and for air flow.

if you have extras of course..

its not easy to route a cable threw the back with only one of those.. rather hard and frustrating actually.....

They should come with the case, not the motherboard.

seriously, you could probably find those screws in the house somewhere whether lying around or attatched to something.

My CPU Block screw was lost and ends up that they are the SAME EXACT screws as the ones in outlets and light switches on the walls.
