Where do I buy Hardware?
My company owns 30 computers, I do all the work on them for the most part. I am always short on screws, plates to cover PCI slot openings in cases and other small hardware like that. Does anyone have a link to where I can buy some of this hardware at? I checked on google but I can't seem to put in the right words to get the right site.
Thanks

Do you have a pc recycler in your area? We have two here in my area and they have piles of that stuff.

I don't know anything about the companies I found, but here's a few links to some of the stuff you mentioned. Hope it helps.
http://www.mycableshop.com/3rd_Level/Bulk-Plates.htm http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...c5678545a37e8c http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...c5678545a37e8c That first one links to all kinds of pci bank plates. The solid ones are about halfway down the page....they call them blanking plates. The second and third links you gotta scroll down a little on too. I thought that second link looked like a pretty good kit.

Plain and simple. Buy it at Newegg.com.

No problem. I just hope they're reputable dealers, because like I mentioned above, I don't know either one of them. After looking though, I do agree with you that screws and blanking plates are not all that easy to find!
I originally figured Newegg would have things like that as well, but after searching, I found nada. Guess they figure you'll get the screws needed when you buy other hardware from them.

Try buyextras.com Haven't ordered anything there, but they have a good reseller rating. They seem to have what you need: http://www.buyextras.com/pctoolkits1.html

I ordered a lot of cable and acc. when we wired the sattelite and sound system at the house from buyextras.com. They seemed good to me. Shipped quick and no problems otherwise.

The thing I need the most I can't seem to find anywhere. You know those connectors from the front panel to the motherboard. Power switch, reset switch and LED indicators for HDD and power. Just those plastic connectors.
Sometimes I find Internet searching is so useless.

Do they carry stuff like that on newegg.com? That's where most people here buy hardware, but little parts like that may be a different story.

Case connectors and switches may be avaiable from the case manufacturer or in the case of name computers; get them from the OEM.
