They were often supplied with a million screws for this or that. Anyway my smallest screws would not fit the tiny ROCK64. Even the small brass nuts for offsetting a motherboard from its surrounding case would not fit. Dare I say it but - can we enlarge the hole a tiny bit? Or is this a big no-no. Looking for ideas on this.
3M machine screws (metric) will fit if you tap them in ( seriously ). I am referring to machine tapping ( not a hammer ).
2M screws ( metric ) will be loose, but work well with washers and nuts. Please see this link for an example using 3M screws ( metric ) tapped.
PS. Please see this link for the same box with the 5v brushless fan mounter underneath.
PSS. The 3M screws can be hand-tapped using the screw itself... hand driver only... be careful !
Thanks amigo! I think I can lay my hands upon a small tap and will give this a try
