Are case fans supposed to come with a set of screws or is that something I need to buy separately?

Q: I bought a couple of Yate Loon fans to replace the two prong Tricool fans in my Antec case, and since I was replacing them I didn't realize until now that there were no screws included and case fans have highly specialized screws I doubt I could find at a hardware store. Do they usually come with screws and should I complain or do I have to find somewhere to buy some?

A: I'm in the business and have bought 100s of case fans and never got any without screws. I went to Cooler Guys and it appears they want 36 cents for 4 screws thou. Guess those fans dont come with screws. Geez. Try this guy: http://cgi.ebay.com/Set-of-4-CASE-FAN-GRILL-SCREWS-CHROME-Metal-NEW_W0QQitemZ320281222960QQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 You can buy 2 sets of 4 and shipping will still be 1.50. That's 3.50 total for 8 screws. Also has black for 1.25 a set. Probably spend more than that on gas and sales tax if you go looking for them.
