I picked up a hp elite 8300 sff with a i7 3770 and 8gb of ram pretty cheap but has no drives whatsoever.

Anyone know what screws it takes to mount the hard drives and the optical drive slot? I'm thinking about making it a mini light server build and throwing in a icydock drive rack I have in the optical bay, an ssd drive for boot, and one of my old 4tb drives possibly in the old main bay. Problem is I'm not sure which screws to get. There's some marked blue hard drive screws on ebay but I don't think they will work on the icydock as it has smaller screws than a typical 3.5 hard drive. Also mounting an ssd?? Same issue.

Any idea what ones to get?

Thanks for reading.

Am I the only one who has probably close to 40?

2 c16s, 2 c64s, 1 ti-994a, 1 Tandy coco, 2 8088s, 2 286s, 4 486s, 6 pentium machines, 8 slot 1s, 2 p3s, 2 p4s, 4 amd socket As just off the top of my head. Not counting boxes and boxes of motherboards, ram, cards, drives, and boatloads of software on floppy discs. Mostly, not games as it was software of the month club of somesort dad had.

I'm really trying to thin down to the 20s. I haven't even counted anything above a p4 / socket A era as there's at least a couple dozen of them.

Guessing after dad passed I probably was up around the 200 mark with his hoard of machines.

How many do you have? Favorite generations? Do you keep full machines for backups or just parts?
