Trim to cover sharp edges after case mod
I'm going to be making some modifications to an Antec NSK3480 case.
I'm looking for rubber trim to cover the sharp edges from my cuts.
Can someone recommend something and a place to purchase it?

Haven't tried it,.. but looks like what you want.
You can also look through hardware stores, home depot, etc for some rubber stripping and DIY.
Hope that helps!

I go get some broken and trashed bike innter tube from local bikeshop. I get them free. You simply just cut the piece you need with scissors and cut the sides off.
Then you get 2 pieces of U-rubber and 2 pieces to straight rubber. U-rubber would that that you want to use after mods.
Straight rubber can be used for suspensions or trash them if you don't need them.

Is it plastic or rubber? How tight of a radius can it fit? I'm going to be punching some 1.25 inch diameter holes in my motherboard tray for wire routing, and I need something to line the inside of the holes.Ralf Hutter wrote:This stuff works great, been using it for years:

I think I might try something a little different. Since I'm making round holes, I should probably be using rubber grommets instead of trim.
I found this page that sells a lot of different sizes...
http://cableorganizer.com/grommet/
I'm thinking that the best size for my application is this one...
OMAR-2092
Inside Diameter - 1 1/8"
Groove Width - 1/16"
Groove Diameter - 1 1/2"
Outside Diameter - 1 7/8"
Overall Thickness - 3/8"
PRICE - $3.50
I'll have to use a bi-metal saw (drill) to cut a 1 1/2" hole.

Used it on my case and looks really good ans is a piece of cake to work with. I highly recommend it.
BTW, it's soft rubber and it's very easy to bend and is SO cheap (45 cents a foot !!)

It's rubber and can go around pretty tight corners on it's own, and if you make some razor cuts in it, it can be bent to 90°.krick wrote:Is it plastic or rubber? How tight of a radius can it fit?

Here's a pic of it used to cover the edges of the severely modded HD cage on my 3700BQE:
and here it is around the fan opening on my P150:
I ended up going with the grommets for the holes.
