Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Can anyone tell me what type of all the types of screws are used on the MPC 4000? I have purchased several screw kits from Amazon and only one of these kits had a screw that fit. And that was this kit which contained a m3X10+6mm standoff/spacer screw that is used inside the MPC 4000 to hold the hard drives/optical drives in place.

Anyway, I am trying to figure out which screws hold the side panels together, which screws hold the metal casing together, and which screws are around the MPC pads and here is what I suspect. Please tell me if I am correct.

The ones that hold the side panels in place seem to be M4x8 phillips screws like this

The screws that hold the metal casing appear to be m3x4mm Phillips Round Pan Head screws like this but I have have not tired them yet. Perhaps I will order them soon to test them out.

I also suspect that the 4 screws around the MPC 4000 pads are M4x8mm Hex wafer head screws like this but I have yet to test them since I am awaiting for them to be delivered.
