Anyone know where I may find self-taping screws? The type the come with case fans. I'm in need of four more. I know the chances of me finding the right thread size is slim, but I can't find any screws that are remotely similiar to those provided for case fans.

yeah any hardware storr should have them, look for a local hardware store, the bigger it is the better chance that they carry them

I tried home depot. They had a large selection of screws but none of them were even close. Most of them were huge bolt/screws. Too big.

Anyone one know the dimensions/specs of these screws?

6/32 usually.
Machine screws.
Homedepot onyl carries flat head drive one but they do work.
Probably need something like 1/2" length or smaller for most of things. Cut it if need to :P I usually grab 2" or 3" ones to do fan mounting, etc to radiator.

Thanks. I don't know why, but I never thought about cutting it. LOL.
