There may be a close size in English (vs Metric) but it is not a standard/common size. I have a Craftsman set of each and only the 2.5 comes close. If you want it to fit you need to buy the key in metric.
What size allen key do you need, I can't find mine and want to get a new one.

Just find one that has
i FEN SHENG SHEN ZHEN CHINA
on it and it should fit. (hehe) They don't say their actual size on them! I don't have a matching key here at work but it looks like a 3/32. If someone doesn't beat me to it I will match it up at home for sure and post back for you.

I finally woke up and realized I was looking at the allen key for the side screws. I'm so sorry. I believe that that one is a bit bigger. I will see if I can get access to one tomorrow, but I don't think that person will be in. They are handy to have around, I'd grab a set of them both metric and english from Sears or something. FYI the size of the cover screws is 2.5mm.
That's what I get for speed reading and trying to sneak in Discussions time between working on systems on the bench.

I can't get access to a unit with the stand on it, but in the bag I kept from the stand with the screws that you must remove I have a couple of the same size allen keys. So 2.5mm it is after all.
So the size, is definitely 2.5mm?
Thanks
Thanks
Well I have three keys in a bag with 4 screws, so if they look to be the same size as the side ones then definitely yes.

Unless it's changed since my early eMac, the Allen key size is 2.5 millimeters.

Thanks, both of you, for your responses. Do you know what the inch measurement for 2.5mm is?
