    Anyone know where I can find those long hard drive screws for the drive bays of the Antec 900 ?

    I would have thought antec would have a link to them on their spec sheet for the case but nope. any help ?

    Aha! I was wondering what the craic was with them. I didn't get any long screws and had to fiddle my way in with a tiny screwdriver. Well...At least I know they're not muppets now. Sorry I can't help you OP....well....it is possible to use the small screws (I have 5hdd's screwed in this way) with some fiddling and a minor amount of frustration.

    they only sent 12 with the case and these have been used.

    I was thinking of using the small screws but the long ones are so much easier. As for being basic, not really. the ones I got were completely smooth along the shaft except for the last cm or two which was threaded. But a hardware shop might have them alright.

    Really dont like the 900 hard drive cages. would have much preferred if they had the clip caddy that slides in and if the HDDs were side-mounted so there's no messing about with cards etc (there's a tight squeeze around my GFX card). Apart from that its a great case, very quiet and very cool.
