So I literally researched everything about building a computer except for the screws.

 

I'm still not sure which screws go where. I have the Enthoo luxe case which comes with a little toolbox with all of the screws separated. But the manual says that some of the screws can be used for multiple devices which confuses me.

 

Is there like a chart somewhere that labels what screws to use for each component?

Really? I really don't think it can be that simple lol. Aren't there screws that still fit in the same holes but are actually meant for another component?

It is that simple if they're the same length/width.

Unless you want to be extra safe and make sure its the correct type thread, there's not much to worry about.

They are meant for different things. But it's like not it exactly matters unless it's a special type of screw. (I mean I used thumb screws from the brackets meant for expansion cards on my motherboard.. cause I well lost my mb screws)

The user manual that came with the Enthoo Luxe should show you which screws to use for what things.

Also, do you have the "regular" Enthoo Luxe, or the Tempered Glass Edition?

 

I just got my Tempered Glass version recently; can go check it for you...

Yeah I saw in the manual it labels everything.

 

I have the regular version but I looked up its manual online, thanks though :)
