I need a screw or 2

[=PxR=TitanSound]

Bought an extra Akasa rear exhuast fan for my case and it only came with quarter inch screws. My other fans all have the long screws that go through both holes, any one know what these are called as i need to get some. Also would I need some kind of back plate between the metal of the case and the fan?


Sorry for the stupid questions but this was my first self build :)

Not a stupid question m8.
Good for you m8 go for it, a self build, you will never look back!
Can you take a photo of this and post it here so we can see?
Nuts and bolts + spring washers to fit I think is what you are after take the fan down to a hardware shop and size the holes to the Nuts and bolts + spring washers, not forgetting the length.
(you could always buy them over length, hacksaw to size, and file the thread for nuts to fit )
As far as the back plate goes, we needs to see what you are on about m8.

Take one of the original screws to a hardware store and get them to match it up for you :) they like doing that stuff...and explain what you want to them even...or maybe a hobby store who could sell you some thin plate steel / plastic too

Building your own is always more fun if you can get it to work...LOL

Nope no digi cam, I spent all my money on this PC.

I have had it for 3 months now just need this extra fan as its getting a tad hot inside the case. Oh, I might try taking pics with me phone if I can find my data cable to hook it up with.
