PC screws?

That link does help a lot. So, 6-32 screws won't fit the hole for an M3 screw that holds an optical drive to the case? Basically, what I'd like to find are thumbscrews that are M3, it seems.

 

 

I think this may be basically what I'm looking for?

They half did the job. :) They fit the holes fine, but, the side panel wouldn't fit back into place with some of the screws in place. There are 2 screw holes per side for the optical drives, and with screws in the rear hole, the side panel will slide back into place. With screws in the forward holes, though, the panel will not fit back because the side panel is not flat on the side. It's got ridges and grooves in it. So, I can only have screws in the rear holes. It seems to do the trick, though. The drives don't move too much when the eject buttons are pressed, so, it appears that just the one screw in the rear :blush2: is enough.
