M5 Standoffs, male M4-.7

Bought a Sentey Black Box case on Shell Shocker, it arrived with eight stand offs, but my board appears to match ten. Build not started yet.
The standoffs are metric.
Body is 5 mm across flats, 6 mm tall, male thread is M4-.7 , female thread is M3 my best guess .5/mm
Sentey hasn't returned my email yet.
Haven't found a source the ships less than a $50 minimum order.
The case also uses M4-.7 screws, these are easy to find. Even found my choice of black or silver M4-.7 steel thumb screws, which I prefer.
I like the case, very fine for $35, may even buy another, lol.
I can use 6-32 x 6mm standoffs with a nylon nut so not a problem issue.
Any help appreciated, thanks for looking.

You can always drill out the motherboard tray to 7/64 and use a 6-32 male end standoff.

Then, McMaster-Carr part# 92700A461 is what you need.

This may be what you have to do, Will you please post pics? I would love to see some Sentey cases in action.

Hate to say it but thats what you get with no name company n cheap case.

I wouldn't say no name, It is a new company that hasn't had time yet but is trying by adding "features" that are not commonly found on low end cases.

The M4-.7 screw is larger than a 6-32, those I have. What I do have is some long shanked 6-32 standoffs I can use with a platic nut for safety's sake.
The case is inexpensive cheap, not cheap cheap.
Price without shell shocker is $60. Box says BX1-4284, description matches the BX2-4284.
I have a Rosewill Challenger, its larger with more features, more fans, and good looks. Waiting on my next pay check and a price I like for CPU, not building yet. Fans and fan controller work.
I also have a Cooler Master HAF 912 (I5 2400) and a recently acquired Lian Li Lancool PC-K57.
I've been preparing the Sentey and Lian Li for builds.
The Sentey easily fits in this company.
It is a rich gloss black, wire managagement may be better than the Challenger, which is good.
It is not as heavy as the CM 912 or LL PC-K57.
It moves as much air as the CM 912 with upgraded fans.
Hard Drive cage is sturdier than LL, case feet are soft, it is wider and larger than it looks.
Haven't used the HDD rack mounts yet. Expansion slot covers are vented, but break out. psu and ODD mount easily, though the swing door is cheesy.
It is easily a better case and buy than the Asgard II I also bought on shell shocker. That one needed a fan opening in the front face to allow a fan air to cool the HDDs.

Last note, when was the last time you found more than eight standoffs matching motherboard holes?

Is it a $100 plus case, no. From the fit and finish, I may buy another, or one of their better ones

Full ATX motherboards can have 10 places to screw into standoffs. Three across the top, three across the middle, three across the bottom, with the single being between the middle and bottom rows.

Wtourist, have you considered just getting a plastic standoff, and cutting off the part that would normally slip into the motherboard tray slot cut for it? That way, you have something that will keep the motherboard from contacting the tray, without necessarily being screwed to a metal standoff that's screwed into the tray.

BestByte has them for $0.15/each, though the shipping will probably kill you if you're just buying a couple of those! They were used with old AT style motherboards, and early ATX style. The tapered end fits through the screw hole, and you'd cut off the knobby end. Choose a couple places where you can place these (probably not a good idea if they're next to each other! LOL), and you're all set.

The Sentey ships with 2 plastic standoffs, apparrently for this reason.
I have the "no motherboard hole" type standoffs and both brass and nylon hex body 6mm tall standoffs with 6-32 male thread to accomadate a nut on the reverse side of the motherboard. 6-32 thread screws fit thru the mount hole.
I have to wait and would like all standoffs and motherboard screws to match.
Apparently more searching is in order.
Sentey is apparently Spanish orientaled, with strong marketing in Spain and South America.

Sentey Support heard from, they will send me two brass M4-.7 Standoffs.
Yeah!

Great customer support.

Pics Plz!

Go to mouser then go to their chat page, and chat with a tech support. You can ask them to find you the part in their store.

Opps time, support came thru with motherboard standoff with an email about a week after my post, then sent standoffs for me.
SENTEY for me, great case.
