a normal sane person would try and fit some extra screws lying around.

 

ORR you could drill holes in the mobo with screws

 

ORR you could duct tape it to the case

 

Either one works.

2 is NOT ENOUGH.

 

The reason there are so many screws you have to put in is so that you don't stress and warp the board.

 

The psu screws might work frist try them without the board in the case. But I do think the threading is different.

 

Either way just go buy a bag of what you need they are very inexpensive.

find the screws

Just put it in the case, i don't see what's so hard about it

 

If you want to mount it, then you'll need to buy the screws

They're pretty standard from what I understand

It's ALL the screws you need and then some.

Can buy more screws?

 

Maybe you shouldn't handle tools   

 

I have NO idea how I am supposed to avoid being banned when I am being set up and baited like this.   Like putting a salt lick out for deer.

 

May as well ban me now.  I am barely resisting...
