A good place to start for this kind of thing is http://www.mcmastercarr.com/
Won't necessarily have the lowest price, but a huge, huge selection and very
fast delivery.

Nylon screws are commonly used in electronics.. I'd also check Mouser and
DigiKey.  You'll want to buy 50 or 100 screws, I suspect.

If you're buying more than a few screws, it's worth it to find a decent
fastener supply place local to you.  Check the (paper) yellow pages under
"bolts" or "fasteners".
