I am building a new system. I wanted to install a cooling fan and ordered
one from buy.com. It is an 80 mm fan but comes with tiny installation
screwes. The mounting holes in the fan and in the chasis are far too big
for the tiny screws supplied. How can I install the fan. I live ina remote
area and have to order the screws over the internet. Can someone kindly
guide me where to buy the necessary rubber or screw mounts?
Thanks

Are they like this? Usually the fans use these big thread types almost
all the other screws in your PC case are different with threads that
are closer together.

The problem here will be shipping.
Im way out in Cucamonga and I once paid $15 shipping for a micro
jumper for a Quantum hard drive that happened to use them which I lost
, that was ages ago.
