I was having a hard time finding high quality stainless steel and alloy screws…you know the small metric kind you use on electronics such as the midibox.

All I could find was those cheap zinc plated ones you find at hardware stores. Anyway I found this place…

they’re in the US - california. Quick. easy. fast website. Prices are relatively expensive (say $3.40 for a 20 pack of 3mm flathead stainless etc..) - for a project like the midibox maybe you only need a couple. I needed two kinds so it was $8 or something.

I’ve had a tough time finding reasonably priced bolts and screws.  Tired of getting ripped off at the local mega-construction store.

someone tipped me off to these guys who are located in MA, USA:

Got some nice finishing hex-nuts in 8/32 and a metric kit for far less than Digikey had 'em.
