    You might be able to buy them at a hardware store. Check around, I found some screws for a CPU HSF retention bracket at my local Sears Hardware; I got them for about 8 cents each.

    Who did you buy it from? I am assuming it was a barebone, right? If it was, I would complain to them. They really should have sent the screws.

    if it was a barebone, there is usually a bag of the screws and mounts in the box or notebook bag.

    if its not there, immediately contact the vendor, they should ship that to you overnight.

    Congrats btw.

    P.S. I am back.... a good friend of mine past away... couldnt get back to NBR until now.

    Goph, my condolences.
    Either way, it should come with screws as gravity still exists on earth.
