Best places (not the cheapest, but fastest) are RC car stores.
www.apexmodels.co.uk will sell you some.
The "associated" range of cars use this thread size all over (shock absorber mounting bolts) are quite long. Short ones are all over the car.
CDROM screws are M3, HDD screws are 4-40.

I just checked the WB and it is indeed the same thread as HDD screws so 4-40 is the final answer.

In the UK you can get 4-40 thread from RS.
