    I used to have a fan on my side panel but this case now houses a file server and it isn't needed.

    I was looking for some mesh / a covering just to tidy it up a bit and help stop the dust, any ideas where I can pick something up cheapish?

    get a rectangular mesh wastebasket from your local home/office store. you can usually find ones that have a side big enough for a few monetary units.

    How big is the hole. You could probably pick up a15 inch sub woofer grill for about a tenner.

    These babys give you a clean piece of mesh for as little as £3 better when you consider B&Q want £15 for something that could barely cover that hole

    Get some sheet cutters and chop it like paper or a dremel if its corrigated whack it between two bits of wood and close it in some vices to flatten it out (althought corrigated would work fine might look better)

    Maybe my rules lies, google is now telling me.

    360 millimetres = 14.1732283 inches

    I'm assuming there's 15inch ones as well. :p
