Rubber Fan Plugs/Grommets + Slot Holes = ???

Post by Phil7C » Wed Apr 22, 2020 9:37 am

Just bought a Fractal Define 7 - lovely case (lot's of space and very configurable) but one problem is that there are slots up front for fan mounting rather than holes. That's good in that you can slide fans up/down to where you want them, but means I can't see an easy way to isolate the fans with rubber plugs/grommets as the fans will just slide to the bottom of the slots and vibrate against each other...

Any ideas?

(Have some BL067s if anyone wants to give specific recommendations!)

Ta!

Put a machine screw and nut in the slot to act as a stop for the rubber/silicone mount.
