I rarely find computers (pc's) that use "American" threaded screws.....

If your screws
aren't 6x32's already, the easiest and probably most practical
thing to do is get a 6x32 roll-tap, and "fix" the application so you can get
the "right" screws whenever you need.
Fine in the States, but have you tried getting 6-32 screws (or any small
UNC screws) over in the UK? They are essentially unobtainable. ISO metric
(M3) are trivial to get, so are the strange 'BA' screws (strange because
of the 47.5 degree thread angle foe one thing!).
