My parts have arrived and I opened my CD/DVD drive and it comes with 4 screws so I don't need to worry about it. Thanks! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/antec-900-optical-drive-installation#post-97555 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:49:46 +0000 LH 97555@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Wait and see if they arrive or not.<br /> I think they are 3mm ISO fine. But hang on for someone who may know for sure. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/antec-900-optical-drive-installation#post-97554 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:40:53 +0000 computernerd 97554@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I'm going to be building my own computer soon, and I was wondering if my dvd/cd drive doesn't come with screws, which screws should I use to mount my disk drive in to the case? In the manual it said to use the screws that came with your DVD/CD. What if I don't have the screws? Which screws should I use to mount my drive? </p>
