Sorry I have NO IDEA on where to post this, so I figured the General Section would be alright. Anyways, I am SO CLOSE to completing my wooden double-wide case. But on the door, and all the fan screws, I don't wanna screw directly into the wood, because once I remove them a few times, the wood will become "stripped out", so I want some steel inserts. I have seen them used on wooden things such as recurve bows. Where can I get em? They're not at my local hardware store? But maybe I can get them at Lowe's or Home Depot? Here is what they kinda look like.  Uploaded with ImageShack.us I would love to buy them online, but have no idea which store to look at. And Google shows mostly random crap.

They usually are at hardware stores or like you said - Lowes / Home Depot.
You just gotta find the 1 person who knows what he/she is talking about to get 'em...

Lol, that's my prob.  I get a young girl who knows NOTHING about such things, or a guy who is too lazy to get off his butt. Thanks man. Maybe I can find them on Amazon in abit.

Thats why when I go to those places I look for older people who look like they know what they are doing. 9 times out of 10 they know what your talking about and will take you right to it.

^^^Yep, but our small store usually has two workers... Both were younger this time. Tomorrow I will head to Home Depot, and surely someone will know. I can't wait.
Then all I gotta do, is see how to mount my rads in the double-wide. It's set up just like yours. The left side is like a regular case, then the right side is for my rads, and pumps. I just don't know if I should cut out a piece of the wall, and cover it will a fan grill then mount my rad to the wall of the case, or not..

T hose who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way. Affiliate Code: 3T15O1S07G
