    I have six 150mm fans in a server case that I'd love to get grills for such as the laser-cut biohazard grills on the overclocking store. Does anyone know of anywhere that actually sells 150mm grills, let alone anything that looks as cool as they do? PLEASE HELP!!

    150 is a very very strange size - you certain its 150? well you wont find anywhere with that size, could get one custom made - but expensive.

    Definately 150s - I measured them to be sure. They're not your usual fan, they sit in the top of a 6ft tall server case.

    Surely someone out there has since these babies before?

    I should get some photos of it on here (it is my new best friend) but I lost my USB cable for my Digi cam. DOH. I've got 3 64MB Compact Flash cards filled with images and no way to download at the mo. I'll try and get them up for tomorrow maybe.

    Sorry - that should be server cabinet, rather than server case (just in case you were all getting a bit too excited about the biggest PC in the world). Hee Hee. :rofl:

    Hmmm get that 170mm fan cover, and ease some of the outer rings on to get the desired 150mm, but the screw supports will still be longer, unless you cut them and weld them together shorter.

    have you tried maplins

    Oooh, man, you think that rocks? I went to a co-lo host and backbone routing company for work experience (they connected ISPs to the fibre telecommunications backbone as well as running co-lo'ed hosting).

    ****ing 20 or so big rooms full of them cabinets. They had 1km cable drums of cat-5 :) I don't have any pics unfortunately, but it was SCHWEEEET. I had a swipe card to let myself in :D

    Ahhh, those were the days. I'd kill to get out of education and work there (well, if I still had qualifications without completing my education).

    I did a restore job on the cabinet, it was in a pretty crappy state when I got. My company scrapped it, so I got it for free. NICE. :D

    Cost me about a million quid in enamal spray paint though!!!! ;)
