    I have the Antec P180 Case, It uses Silicone grommets on the hard drive caddys to reduce noise/vibro and as a result the screws have to be longer.

    i have done a search on the net by have been unable to find anything longer than the norm 6mm................someone else must have come across this?

    Any help would be great.

    Thanks

    my p180 came with loadsa spare ones. if you didnt get any with your i suggest you contact your retailer or even directly to antec. if you cant be bothered go to a hardware store and pick something out cant imagine it would be too hard to find appropriate size maybe some washers bring the HD and tray with you and figure something out.

    Yeah was thinking of using washers, I got my case 2nd hand off the boards and there was no spare screws.....................i have never seen that size bofore (6-32) so was unsure as to if a hardware store like woodies would carry them, I know it stands for Size 6 screw and 32 Threads per inch, never came across anything like it beofre.
