Computer Fan Grommets

[MainframeTM]

Greetings,

Recently I've drilled out a hole @ the top of my case for a blowhole & am looking for a grommet for it. Would anyone know what I could use for it & if I can find it local? I'm hoping for a simple rubber tubing/grommet that could be used.

Thx,
Main

the easiest place locally is door edge trim at a auto parts store. I prefer MNPCTech.com (finer rubber molding).

+1 on MK's suggestion. I used that exactly under my mobo when i used the dremel to cut out for wiring in my 900.

Nice suggestions from everyone. For so small a item shipping is a killer thou..any more ideas about a local provider?

Add a tube of thermal paste to help offset the shipping? Thats what I always do on the small things...keeps the tubes fresh and I can try different types!

I thought fan grommets were the little rubber pieces that went into the fan screw holes to reduce vibrations?

carefull with this stuff it's usually made of hard rubber/plastic and is more of a pain to work with. a hairdryer helps.

having used both i prefer the mnpctech style moulding vs the reg automotive moulding

from what I"ve seen I think I'm gonna agree with you here. mnpctech type seems geared for pcs..hence the title of it. but really in the end the simplest install is the best to work with I'd think
