does anyone know where I could buy just the rubber grommets that attach the fan to the heatsink...? they are listed under accessories on the Xigmatek site, complete with a picture of a package containing numerous grommets, yet I can't find them at any of the sites linked from the "where to buy" section...
 
Might have to ask them direct?

I know you get a couple extra with ones you buy new...

when I bought mine I just received the four, plus I did try to email them and the email came back in taiwanese or something, an attachment i clicked on said the email delivery to both the us reps (John Ngo and Dohn Tsang) failed and included a link to each rep's email which looks surprisingly like the addys that were emailed before, I'm not holding my breath...
 
How many do you need? I could see how many extras I got (I think only 1-2 per heatsink, I've bought a couple).

I was thinking 4 for the push fan, but then I started thinking, and through the heavy smoke which started to fill the room I saw visions of two for each fan, one on opposite corners of the heatsink, that may be my next project, 4 grommets to connect two fans, I think this may work, also, the email addresses I mentioned above came back undeliverable, not a big surprise...
 
a few days after this I actually did receive an email from someone at Xigmatek, they said the grommets would become available at Newegg in ~ three days, two and a half months later still nothing, my genius idea obviously didn't work because the groove for the grommets is only close to one side of the heatsink, of course Xigmatek has the longer grommets that would reach to the other side of the heatsink listed with a part number on their website, but again, where the hell am I supposed to buy these parts...? I am sick of using zip ties because the fins get easily bent...

I also see these grommets on other brand's heatsinks as well, they look the same as the Xigmatek ones, but I can't find anyone's grommets for sale online...
