I have successfully mounted the motherboard AND expansion cards (and the case can easily support the weight, which I was honestly concerned about at first). I am, however, having problems mounting the PSU. Because the acrylic is thicker than a standard rear panel of a case, regular PC screws can't reach the PSU. I'm looking for extra long 6-32 screws, as well as regular sized 6-32 screws and standoffs (7 + 10 screws for expansion cards and motherboard, 10 standoffs, at least 16 to mount 4 hard drives, and at least 4 for the CD drive).
Optical drives don't use 6-32 though, do they? Are they M3?

McMasterCarr either doesn't have the screws I'm looking for, or I'm just bad at navigating their site. I don't mind buying from random online sellers, nor from OCN members.

I still need to figure something out to mount the drives.
5-day bump. Need help finding these screws. Basically, as long as they're 6-32 and over 1/4" (acrylic is 1/4" thick, plus the distance they go into the PSU), they will work.
