    If the CD has less threads per length than the HDD, than it's probably threaded 6-32. I can't remember which is which, and I'm too lazy at 2:30am to open the case and look :)

    If the HDD has less threads, than the CD is the other one, and I can't remember it's thread count :(

    I thought for sure I said that in my last post. I did take the screws and what I got was a bit off.

    I think god8y meant to take the whole cd drive in with you. :D Then you would know for sure if the screws would fit.

    Yeah, I seen the post before you Edited it. Im going to be heading down to Home Depot today to get some more screws(hopefully the right ones this time) and to Price some plexi if they have the right size, im going to a different one this time. I expect it to be $15-$20 for a piece around 18inx24in because a piece of 1/8" plexi costed $10 but thanks to the new girl at Home Depot I got it for free.

    no, she was frustrated because it didnt have SKU number and her line was getting huge so she walked it out the door and said "here, my line is to long".

    Ubermich: im guessing 18inx24in

    I tapped the holes in the extrusions and put a screw in and then place the extrusion on the screw and tightened it therby holding the extrusion in place.
