I've seriously got plastic organizer packs totally filled with tons of screws that are all slightly different for PC assembly. Silly.

Yeah. I'm bringing everything including the drive bay. Right now I have it taped down to save time installing my OS and my files this thing is extremely fast. I love it! Just need proper mounting now.
