"Quick disclaimer" This thread is ONLY to address alternate feet ideas for antec 900 not modding in general

I already realize that there are toooons of threads about modding the Antec 900, i've read many of them and learned a great deal. Its very nice to see everyone elses mods too. good job everyone.

Most of the threads i've read show alot of really cool things people have done with wiring and lights paint...
I haven't really seen anyone address the feet in a nice way and many people's mods have feet that dont really go with the theme and cheapen the whole look they were going for.
Specifically speaking about cases with holes cut in the bottom with the flipped PSU drawing air from under the case. the feet that come with the case are only 1/4" to 1/2" tall and really I'm worried that they don't provide enough air.


any suggestions, my case is pretty stock 900 looking, regular antec 900 tricool blue leds a thermaltake golden orbII with a blue led fan, 2 black metal edged XFX 8800gt's in SLI. I cut the bottom to flip my corsair PSU, i wouldnt have worried about the fan aiming up, but my asus mobo has the second SLI slot at the bottom of the board, the second gfx card is almost touching the top of the PSU, so i didnt want a fan fighting for air there.

thanks everyone.

I purchase larger rubber feet at local hardware stores.

Here are some fancy aluminum feet from mnpctech:

Online vendors that cater to case modders have a variety of case feet including some with led lighting.

I went to home depot looking for some simple black rubber feet, no luck?

I found some promising door stops, but they were grey or white. Obviously I'm not going to stroll into the computer feet aisle and have my choice of 3/4" 1" and 1-1/2" antec 900 feet, but other than repurposed doorstops what other household product might make a good rubber computer foot? Right now my case is propped up on some old architecture textbooks. They accomplish the task well, but the asthetics arent there yet.
