Car spares place maybe? Like Halfords?

Halfords has some good stuff in there "performance" parts section... ie, the place where idiots get the crappy car bits.

Try searching for rubber grommet strips or aes grommet strip in google.

I've just ordered 1m of this stuff. I found it under neoprene rubber edge trim. How is the window going, I've ordered it to do exactly the same thing, but as I'm only 15 I am kind of petrified of cutting into my nice case and an error will be expensive.

Got any tips? How easy was the cutting part.

Also what did you do when cutting it - low tack tape, mark out, pilot hole (drill), then cut with jigsaw?

Cuttings not hard.

I mark the area with a felt pen, make sure the side/case is seated, so that it cannot move. Drill some small pilot holes and then cut out the shape with a Dremmel tool.

Thanks for the help guys.

neon.uk - I made a template then used a router to cut the hole.

But as already said, you can use dremmel tools, jigsaws etc..

I will upload some pics in the next few days, this is my first project. Got myself a lian li v1110b and ive mounted the rad at the bottom of the case and made the window. Just got to try and sort out the cable management !!
