If you are talking about case thumb screws you can find these at

www.cyberguys.com

However, a lot of cases now have screwless, or some kind of proprietary
drive, attachment methods. You may have to contact Compaq, or the case
manufacture to get what you need. If you have to go to Compaq, and they
won't give it to you, then it is probably easier, and a whole lot less
expensive, just to fabricate something.
