How do you repair screw holes in computer case after too much use?
tinjaw:
I have a few trusty computer cases that I have used for years and years. They have been used so much that they screw holes for the screws to hold in the expansion cards are pretty much all stripped. Besides go the hardware store and buying bigger screws, do you know of any way to remedy the problem?
AbteriX:
Are there "bigger screws"? I think no.
I think i would put a little bit of hot glue "in" the holes
and make a new thread by screwing in the screw onces the glue is cold down.
Don't tested :P

Yes. I have used short sheet metal screws in the past.

The best fix? Buy a new case :)

I will do so gladly. Just as soon as you send me enough Donation Credits to cover the cost of the case plus S&H. 8)
