Today on Felthry Makes Polls For Things No One Cares About: Screw sizes!

@Motodrachen Also: Yay we're winning. Mostly, anyway. There are two M8 fasteners and a couple M5 fasteners just because that's the size of the predrilled holes in some things. Oh, and there's two M12 fasteners too, because mounting huge capacitors needs huge nuts.

Standoffs are varyingly #2-56, #4-40, and M3, though. In fact, there's even some M3 nylon screws jammed into #4-40 threaded standoffs >.>

@Motodrachen "mounting huge capacitors needs huge nuts" sounds way more lewd than it really should
