https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_case_screws
You might be able to get a box of thumbscrews in the appropriate diameter and go toolless. I've had a number of computer cases that ship with those (my current desktop case just uses magnets, doesn't even have the thumbscrews). I have had a lot of less-than-ideal toolless things in the past, including poorly-designed toolless hard drive mounting stuff that wound up being a lot more work than the traditional tool-requiring stuff, but for the screws that keep the case closed, going toolless has always been a big win for me.
Thats good to know! Although if I am honest, ill probably just repurpose my current desktop that I am using for this conversation and get a new one if I end up re-doing my homeservers again.
Last thing I want to do is more work at home. So these are just "for fun" projects. If im not having fun, I start removing things from the setup.
