I need some new screws for some hard drives and the adapters that attach on to the hard drive so it will fit in a 5 1/4 drive. I can easily meaure the length, but I'm not sure how to tell what # the screws are. Also, what type of threading do they have? The screws that go on the hard drive adapter rails have more threads than the screws that go in the hard drive.

I'm working on a "case" mod so I don't have to put the hard drives in the actual case. I made a separate case just for hard drives :p. The last step is to find the screw sizes and put everything together. I didn't want to kill any of my hard drives since they were getting too hot to touch. I think they are placed much too close together in standard cases. The newer drives espeically get very hot. I'm sure the 10,000 rpm drives generate quite a bit of heat.
