So i recently bought a new computer case and it was supposed to come with some step up screws which are something to mount to the case to allow me to put my extra hardrive on but it didnt come with any so when i go to look online to buy some i cant even find that they exist so i was wondering if anyone knew where to get these screws.

Look at the existing hard drive mounting area. Are there any screws there? (Or is the area riveted in?)

Look at the hardware brackets to assemble a second hard drive bay: are the holes threaded? If so take the brackets to a hardware store and find matching screws. Could be metric.

Could also be stand-offs of some sort. Search "stand-offs".

Any parts list with the case? Look for the part descriptions and quantities.

Go to the case manufacturer's website. See what you can find. Call or email them.

Go to where you purchased the case and look in another case.
