Im gonna try to quieten my Lian Li case a bit - can anyone tell me which Maplin stock code I should be looking for, for a standard fan mounting hole?
Guess what, Maplin discontinued the ideal (4mm) size Go to their site & enter "grommet" to find the nearest.
i get the assortment bags from radio shizzack , the smallest ones in there are perfect. just dunno what im gonna do with all these big ones yet.
Rapid Electronics do the 4mm, but (a) no online ordering, (b) they come in 100's, (c) its £3.50 P&P. May be cheaper to try Tekheads or OCS.
£1.90/ pack 100 + £2.50 del +vat, code 04-0132 (4mm bore, needs 6.4mm panel hole). (wrong delivery price quoted above)
try rubber washers.... u can get clear ones... and the screw head will sink into it.. But if you are trying to make the rear fan quiet, i got rubber edging and applied it to edge the mobo tray panel that holds the fan.. (does that make sence) (can i spell) anyhow its plenty quiet, except the thumbscrews were dam tight to fasten after that...
that makes sense... ill try it after rubber grommeting the fans. price from rapid isnt too bad, and i might get a few other things at the same time. cheers for the part number.
