What are all of the skrews that came with my computer case for?
I am putting together a computer and I have a bag with some skrews that came with my case. I have no idea where they go and what their lettering is. I see some letters next to the skrew holes but I do not know where each skrew goes. My case is a APEX SK-503-C from Newegg. Please help. I will choose a best answer.
The Gold looking ones are motherboard stand offs that make the mother board the right hight for the back panel of the case, look at the board to place the right standoffs for your board ( the letters on the mother board tray is for the different types of mother boards atx and micro atx etc), then the rest are for hard drives, fans, etc. You will have a lot left over.

Chassis screws – this is the type used to tighten down cards, etc.
Smaller screws – just like the chassis screws, just with a smaller diameter. It is used to fasten the motherboard in.
Standoffs – these are screws that are used to hold the motherboard about 1/8″ from the motherboard mounting plate. Their ends have a threaded opening in them that accept the smaller chassis screws.
Spacious, GREAT looking, AMAZING COOLING
Most of them are so you can mount everything in the case.
The motherboard, the hard drives, etc, etc. Some are for the case itself, to keep the sides on or whatever. Some are for the fans. A whole bunch are extra though. So don’t worry too much about it.
