Blanking 5.25" slots in a tower case?

crotach

Hi folks,

 

I'm upgrading my system residing in a Silverstone Temjin TJ-07 full tower case, and I've decided to dump all the hard drives and just use SSD. As a result I don't need the 3x5.25" hard disk cage (fits 4 drives + fan) and basically I'll have 6 unused 5.25" slots.

 

I can't find the blank plates to close the gap if I remove the hard disk cage.

 

Does anyone have an idea how to close the 6 bay gap so that it's aestetically pleasing?

 

My other option is to get rid of the optical drive and the 3.5" front USB ports and replace the entire front with something like this:

I could fit a rad in the front then, but I'm not sure that's really needed. There's a 3x140mm rad in the bottom that's more than enough, but if I can't find a better option I might go with this :)

 

Thanks!

3D printing is wonderful for stuff like this. Take a look at thingiverse, even if you dont have a 3D printer I think can get them painted by someone using their service.

Well the original ones are aluminium and they screw into the case. These days you mostly find cheaper materials like plastic or steel.
