    Where is a good place to go for a variety of case handles? I want to add 2 to the top of my case, but can't find any. I loved PCCaseGear... but they are in AU, and they don't ship to the US. Any ideas?

    Got the ones I put on the current project at lowes for $2.00 a piece. they are just plain drawer handles with a brushed stainless finish. Cheap and look good to boot! :idea:

    IF you go the hardware store handle method, remember to get washers to distripute force evenly, instead of ripping some new top panel holes.

    Sure! I made a mistake though. It wasn't a UK site, I meant to put AU.

    You know - with those handles posted by fohkus you might choose not to use them as handles but use them to give like another dimension to your case - so make it like a framework on the outside kind of thing...

    would look excellent on a cube case. - can anyone else see my vision? :idea:

    Yah go PCCasegear that's where I get all my stuff from. I thought they did post international. oh well.
    I've seen those case Handles at Bunning which is our Major Home Hardware store so I'd asume that any major hardware store should have them or know where to get them at least.

    I got a pair of really nice brushed aluminium handles from Ikea, only £2.50, very rugged.
