    Hi All,
    I have never done any sort of modding on my PC, and decided that I wanted to have a couple handles on my computer that I could hook a nylon strap to so i could carry it to my cousins easier... anyways, here is the result... sorry about the image quality...

    What it is, is two U-bolts, 1/4", 4 nuts (per bolt), two washers (per bolt) and a metal support plate (inside the case) which removes the stress from the points that the bolts connect. Not bad for $5.00, well less than that... but...

    what do you think?

    Any washers/plate on the inside? May rip out the handles if theres not a lot of support on the inside.

    There is a metal plate inside (on each bolt), that is about half an inch longer than the width of the u-bolts...
