Case Window Standard, PC Feet

[adamvk]

yet ANOTHER pc case question, sorry, I have alot of different ideas for cases.

Look at this picture first... http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/hotbox/Dec06/02_01_b.jpg

Now, where can I buy that kind of PC feet, I love those PC Feet. Also are most PC Case sides standard? I want to buy a Lian Li Side, love how they look, and put in on a non Lian-Li PC Case, would that work?

Those feet are official lian li casters, and can be found at performance-pcs.

As for side panel, no, it will only fit in a case it was meant to be put on which will always be a lian li.

Wow, didn't think it would be that pricey. I was thinking maybe $10..........

 

[adamvk]

Any cheap knock-offs that look similar?

Agh, I was just giving a set away for free to someone on the forum.

Check out the wheels for furniture at various shops - Home Depot, Ikea, woodworking (furniture maker oriented) etc. I put caster wheels on my case that match my chair's . Home Depot/Lowes etc will also have "industrial look".

You could also use old skateboard wheels and trucks - you could shape the wheels to be more or less flat on the sidewall. Choose colours to match or glow in the dark .

Personally, I think casters are a great addition to a case - makes positioning it under a desk easy (especially on carpet) compared to regular feet.

Nah, just think I'm gonna buy the Lian Li feet for $30 and not go through as much trouble.

I bought some wheels for my Rocketfish that twirl and such (as opposed to those Lian-Li that only go straight, I think).

They had white and black version at my Home Depot, in various sizes. Got a small size but it supports all the weight of my case.

Only cost me $5.29 for all 4 feet.

But I did need a drill, but I think most people have or are accessible to one.

Really? Actual PC feet at Home depot?

Wouldn't think of looking there, thanks.

I think he's referring to the same thing I used - caster wheels, furniture grade.

Opps... yeah that's what I meant.

It's not really that hard to do either. Just apply some masking tape, mark where the wheels will go, and drill away. Then drop in the screws and nuts and you're case will be wheelin' away!
