custom screws

There's you problem! AFAIK desktops have 3 standard screws. Colossal, self-tapping screws for case fans. Coarse ones for power supplies and motherboards. Fine ones for drives.

The scandal is not that these parts are only made in east Asia but that India and Brazil are not suppliers. They are also cheap labour countries.

Made to measure screws! I thought Henry Ford was the last man to make that mistake, and the Model T was before World War 2.

Use regular screws then, no excuses, the only reason they use these screws is so people can't fix their own shit.

Of course. Because they weren't going to import ANY OTHER PARTS. I'm sure every single component was going to be made in house or from domestic manufacturers...
