DIY Case feet

[XHD600X]

Hi guys,

 

Since the feet of my case have failed i was searching for a solution, now i've found my own that everyone can make with a really small budget. The case i've used is an Cooler Master K280 (About 30 euros)

The old feet:

 

 

In the end it will look something like this:

 

 

These are the bolts and nuts i've used, you need four of them but i had already done the back of the case... you could use bigger ones but then you need to make the holes even wider!

 

 

 

 

The tools you going to need are 3 things:

Dremel with small grinding bit

and 2 spanners size 13.

 

First off you're going to need to widen the holes a little bit because the bolt wouldn't go through. If you keep you pc components in the case make sure there cant get anything on them! (Use some cloths!)

 

 

 

After you have widened the hole you can stick the bolt through and secure the nuts on it!

 

 

 

after you've doen evry corner it should look somewhat like this!

 

 

When you've a bottom mounted power supply i recommend taking it out. otherwise you could damage it...

Now put your case back in it's place and look at those sexy feet!

 

 

 

You will void your case warranty with this DIY. I'm not responsible for any damage. DO it on your own risk!

I would've used some bigger nuts and stuck some rubber under there? Looks a bit slippery and like it would probably damage a painted surface easily.

plz never drill holes or something in your case when you components are still in it its not good you may dmg them

Biigger nuts are indeed better, it isn't very slippery or so. You'll get indeed some scratches but in my case my desk is already pretty damaged .
