900D case grommets

Kaapstad · 9 Feb 2014 at 08:43

Does anyone know where I can get grommets for the two openings above the motherboard in the 900D case.

Thanks.

Could always get in touch with Corsair directly and see what they can do for you?

Looked on their forums earlier but they don't make/stock them.

They did say this may change if there was a high demand for them.

I think it is quite sloppy of Corsair as the case should have grommets there as standard.

Are the grommets you are looking for the same size as any of the other grommets used in the 900D?

If so PM greybeard on the forums and see if he can get you some sent over.

If not, you're out of luck as grommets aren't the easiest things to get custom made.

This company does exist in the UK but no idea on how expensive it would be. http://www.grommets.co.uk/custom-moulding/

Sadly the grommets I need seem to be a different size to the other ones in the 900D, I also tried the ones in a spare 800D case I have.

That's unfortunate. Seems odd how corsair would neglect this part of the case when the rest of the case is grommet-ed.

Very strange you'd think they would produce spares!
What happened to yours?

^ The case doesn't come with the ones above the motherboard. A thick push/pull rad will cover the holes anyway but I know Kaapstad has his external. I've asked some custom shops if they have the ability to make these and none do.

I would like some for mine too though, perhaps raising more interest on Corsair's forum will help. I will make a thread there later?

I've even looked at a few pics comparing it to the ones in the 350d but they seem a lot longer and thinner. There are however two top grommets in the 350d that could possibly work.

If you've got some height and width measurements I can check the sizes and get back to you.

They won't fit in the spot marked in red, that's just an image I'm using to look at the 900D. But they might work in the 4 holes above.

*Edit

Measuing the holes they fit into there are roughly 22mm x 76mm.
