Source for small screws

Dubbie:
Does anyone know what a good source for small high quality screws are?
I often make very small projects, and thus need tiny screws. I am talking M1, M1.2, M1.4 of various lengths and head types. The sort that you might see a HDD or a hearing aid assembled with.
Besides machine screws, I would also like a source of very small (steel) plastic screws. The ones with washers integrated with their heads would be useful as well.

I'm sure if I went to an electronics market in Shenzhen or something, I could buy them by the cupful. But I am struggling to find a good source from here in NZ.

In a pinch I have made half a dozen or so of them from scratch but that gets boring very fast when you don't have a screw lathe.

I prefer torx heads.

Maybe optimistic trying to find torx that small though, at least at reasonable prices. Any particular reason? I don't like philips head for the fact that they cam out after a while, but low torque applications are fine. Different when it's structural or automotive fasteners.

eBay - Search for "screws M1 TORX".  From China
Dubbie:
Thanks John B.
As far as plastic screws go, that looks like pretty much just what I was looking for.
Dubbie:
Thank Back2Volts.
I had looked on ebay in the past and not seen anything decent. However this time I found a seller with some good quality (in the pictures at least) screws.
I have bought a bunch of torx M1, M1.2 and M1.4 in various sizes and will see what they look like when they arrive.
