you can get them from maplins or pc world. Normal screws works so a local hardware shop will do.

 

I bought a pack of assorted case screws, stand-offs and drive screws from a small local PC shop for £1.99 a while back.

 

The stanley brands of screws are very good too

 

Ebay.

 

Thank you for your replies, the only reason I need them is because I installed a new graphics card but it didn't have any screws with it to the motherboard.

Which would lead me to the opinion that this was deliberate

 

i'm a bit of a horder, i have tons of useless IT junk that i think i'll need some day and it comes in handy

google FTW !

No, there wasn't a screw on the blanking plate (just a soldered plate), this is the first time I've upgraded a computer.

 

the soldered ones just twist out, usually get the screws with the motherboard.
