where can i find o-ring cover for badly cut fan hole ?

[oldnick]

just bought new aluminum case (Raijintek Metis plus)

 

and i wanted to add 2nd fan at the top so i asked someone i know who has an aluminum workshop if he know how to do it or know someone and he says ok

 

he found someone who cut the hole by laser but after the first quarter of the hole the panel started shaking and the rest of the hole ended up looking very bad with a lot of rough edges and the hole doesn't look round also there are two small burn spot on the metal

 

he will try to file it to make it a little better but i dont think it will be that good and want to cover the mess with some o-ring rubber (or something like that) which i saw somebody doing it on youtube but cant recall the video 

 

where can i find such thing and what does it call so i can search for it ? 

 

note: i dont want to repaint the top panel of the case since it wont have the same color as the rest of the case

i already have dust filler like this one

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Computer-PC-Dustproof-Cooler-Fan-Case-Cover-Dust-Filter-Mesh-120mm-with-4-screws-/122394419928

 

but the hole is a little smaller than the actual fan hole to make room for front i/o ports "see pics of the case" otherwise it wont fit for another fan 

 

so even if i get another dust filter it will still be see-able especially the non-rounded part of the hole which sticks out    

 

anyway thanks for your input

What you would need is rubber U channel.

do you think this one will work or do i need smaller one (giving it will be over the fan blade after mounting and could interfere with them since the fan hole is a little smaller than the fan blade) ?

if you put the rounded side on the outside yeah that'll work.

if the blades do hit the ring you can just use a few washers on the fan to space it back a little bit
