my question is what are the screws that allow you to screw the sides of computer cables into them made of? I have narrowed it down to brass or stainless.

stainless - haven't seen any made of brass. Standoffs on the other hand..
I just googled standoffs and that looks exactly like what im talking about except they are always chrome colored
Standoffs will be behind the motherboard attaching the board itself to the case...
now I see standoffs are under the mother board connected to the tin shell. now are standoffs always brass?
No,, all three. BrassQuote:

thank you guys so much
A lot of electronics have coated brass. Most of the connector screws that I have run across are coated. If you're curious, just hit it with a file or your grinding wheel.
He's right on the hard drives about all the screws will be SS.Quote:
