I'm getting a feeling your project's completion hinges on...uh...some hinges. My suggestion is go back to the ones you decided you didn't like...at least they'll let you put it together...
Or am I missing something?

 No, the hinges will not work... It is not the gap that is the problem as the intended set(s) fit cleanly. The issue is that the hole pattern has a larger span, but in this case I could re-drill the mounting holes. Over-coming that hurdle is still a moot point as the faces of the hinges are larger. The larger hinge will not sit where it needs as the panel that holds the rads was designed to fit about 3mm below the smaller set.... see the problem?  So, it is as Maestro says: I will simply use the original hinges a pretend that I like them... "the best laid plans of mice and men..." There is another delay as well. I do not have the 1" 8/32 low-profile bolts that I need, so I will need to order those from McMaster-Carr as no where in town will have any. Lordy....

Hi Syriliian!
 Has one considered perhaps a black piano hinge? I know it's not very elegant, but maybe a layer of acrylic between the hinges & the panels to accentuate the finish? I've seen that application somewhere and it looked awfully brilliant

Guys, thanks for the understanding that I muddle my way through life and not tearing me a new one. Jeez... I still can't believe I did that. lol.
*sigh* Oh well... "Onward"... Indy ~ A good thought about the piano hinge, indeed TAP sells some 12" clear ones that might do, and the the work-a-round of a joining layer would hide the existing holes quite nicely.  + ...but in this situation one of the design elements was a "quick-release" front panel - radiators and all. This requires a removable pin on the hinge. In truth I suppose I could make my own (see comment to tehpwn), but this project is holding up other peoples projects, and I need to crap or get off the pot. tehpwn ~ Indeed. I did try sometime ago, but they were too "bulky"... maybe I try again on the next project. Update: I have now ordered the bolts from McMaster-Carr, they are pretty good about shipping so I should have the stuff my Wednesday.

Can't you just get repo to do the same thing to the right sized hinges?

Heyah, Hutch.
...yeah... just go tossin' in some logic-bomb into my neatly ordered chaos..   ... I jest. Yeah. You are right. But, there are a couple of things to consider:
Also, this project needs to be done so that it can start doing what it was built for: fragging, blasting, and total carnage across the digital realms... no Zombie, Alien or Mutant will be spared... ...the only thing that is saving them at this point is McMaster-Carr

 Well despite those 2 drawbacks, given the time and effort put into this project, I am sure $50 is a small price to pay for your satisfaction. I know that you seeing them everyday on the rig will tear you apart until you actually fix them. I say, beg repo to do another set for you (sorry for volunteering you repo). You can continue to play L4D on the computer while waiting on the handles and you can start working on other projects if the handles are the last thing that needs to be done. More logic bombs for you.
