I want to fit a handle onto the top of a small microAtx case cause im building a small moderately powered Lan box, that way I can have a machine to take to lan parties with a little more flash and customization than is possible with my laptop.

Anyways, back on point, I looked at alot of things online and I dont really like anything ive seen, most are plastic and have LED's and all that. All I want is a simple, bolt-on metal handle. Could be curved or squared, doesnt really matter. Does anyone know of one like this? Or i'm not opposed to building my own, actually I might prefer it, so does anyone know of a good way to go about this, ie an easy piece to use for this purpose, maybe with threads already in the ends, etc.

Thanks in advance!

i'll tell you what i did. i went to my local hardware store and looked at a the handles they had for doors. i picked out the most robust and straightforward looking pair i could find that was also cheap. the handles weren't front-mounting like the mnpctech ones; i had to drill holes and mount the screws from the other side of the chassis. works ike a charm.

I was wondering if something like that might work, I just need to find something that looks decent and *not* like a door handle lol.

yeah, obviously you don't want like door knobs, :laugh:. you want proper handles. the pair i picked out were (still are) chrome finished straight handles, no curvature.
