Where to get case parts?

[axeman]

I picked up a SuperMicro SC750 Tower cheap. Its nice, lots of room, came with a seriously heavy duty looking 430watt PSU. Only thing is it needs a few parts to be complete. I have none of the plastic plates for covering up the unused 5.25 bays, and there are lots of 'em. It also appears that inside there is room for additional 3.5 hard disk brackets to attach. Right now it's a little short on space for HDs. Is there any place to get stuff like that? Anyone got some spare parts for that case around?

Did you check on the supermicro website to see if they offer any replacement parts for their cases yet?

I got in touch with them, it looks like 20 bucks gets me a complete front bezel. I can deal with that. For another hard drive bay thing they want 18 though, seems a bit much for just a little chunk of metal with a couple bends and holes in it. Any how... the project continues:

Can anyone recommend a good 120mm fan? The one that is in there moves a hellova lot of air, but its noisy as hell. I swapped the pins on the connectors to run it at 5v, now it's pretty quiet but not moving so much air, I probably want something in the middle. (The 7volt trick makes me uneasy... what's that doing to your PSU?) I'm sure there is some 120mm fans that turn slower by design, but still move a decent amount of air. There is also a 92mm exhaust fan as well, that one is going to get replaced with a quiter one as well. The system only has a Sempron running at 1.4ghz so I don't need insane cooling to keep this baby running extremely cool.

Could you get something like this?

And the 7V mod is perfectly safe. I'd at least try it and see if you get the right amount of air before purchasing a new fan.

Nice case,sometime in the future I'd like a 760.

Axeman,

If you can find a few 5.25 to 3.5" brackets, you could mount additional HDD's in your 5.25 bays.

Just an idea....

[axeman]

Yeah, I'll probably get 3.5 to 5.25 mounting kits, OR get one of those hd brackets with the fans,etc.
