The front foot fell off my new 800D

As in the title

Does anyone know what Corsair use to attach the feet (they look like some kind of pins or rivets) and where in England I can get some more.

Thanks

If the case is new then it will be under warranty,start a rma process and they might just send you the feet.

I've got a 700D and it looks to me like there are rivets through the floor of the case into the foot.

I believe that the rubber on the feet conceals a hole, and that the rivet is inserted from above, through the case floor, into the foot, and then "expanded". I'd need to rip off the rubber foot on my case, and I haven;t got anything handy to peel it off with at the moment...

I still have the foot

Its the rivet or whatever it is that I don't have.

Unfortunately RMA is not an option for me. The foot fell off after I had installed a w/cooling loop in the case.

Please don't peel the rubber off your case foot, I think it may be a bit difficult to stick it back on firmly.

I had a look in the top of the foot that fell off, it looks like the rivet or whatever it is, is put in the top not pushed though from the bottom.

Thanks for the quick replies

Mine has threaded screws underneath the rubber feet. If yours is riveted and they had broke then it should be a trivial fix to just put a nut and bolt in its place, or another rivet if you have the tool.

I have just peeled back the rubber feet and found the screws

My PC now has all its feet again

Thanks guys

Had the screw just come undone?

Yes

They had droped down into the foot

When the foot fell off I was puzzled by the fact I could not find the rivets. I know why now.
