    Hi everyone,
    I recently bought a Dell inspiron 1720 with one hard drive pre-installed since the upgrade price for a second one is too expensive. I want to add a second one and I knew that I can order the carrier and interposer on Dell website but there are no screws that came with. I don't want pay 10$/each screw by calling Dell. After do some reading on this forum, someone said there are 7 screws to install the 2nd hard drive to bay( four m2.5x5 screws and three m3x3 screws). I don't know where I can get them besides Dell. I'm also suck with ebay, I'm not good at dealing with that kind of shopping.
    I hope that everybody can help me out. Thanks for reading this.
