Ok, so where else can I get it? Does directron carry something like this? Where would you recommend I get this kind of stuff? I saw someone used something from an auto store (chrome).... was thinkin maybe u have another suggestion?

I bought a length of 5mm silicone hose, which I slit lengthwise. Works well too, and it's cheap.

I've used the stuff from the auto stores (to line car door edges)--the black stuff, NOT the chrome. I just softened it up with a hairdryer while applying it. I've used it with success for 80mm holes and bigger...wouldn't try it for anything smaller--would probably peel off too easily from the tension.

Thanks guys. :) I think I'll probly buy stuff from mcmasters, assuming I do the sorbathane mod to the Zalman 7000. I'll get a buncha stuff from them at once probly.

Anyone here think it might be a good idea to have a sticky called "McMaster suggested products" and list part numbers and catalog pages of every useful product for pc case modding? Save a lot of noobs like me from posting. :)

You can go to a hardware store and get 3/16" vacuum hose and it will do the same thing.
