Simple question from a wanna be modder
Hey guys, I'm looking to do some work on my Theraltake Tsunami. (painting the interior and cutting cable holes in backboard) I have a dremel and some different size circular hole saws but I am wondering what the stuff is called that I see used to often to go on the inside of holes cut in sheet metal. It's like a rubber border you can put around the edges of the cut hole to protect the cables from being sheered that go through it. Anybody know the name for the stuff and a good place to get it?

Rubber Grommets.. Home Depot or Menards or True Value have em in the hardware sections
Bratwurst anyone???? \o/ for Sheboygan lol {Edit} There's a couple other things like wire loom or spline as well, but don't look nearly as good. You could also go to an automotive store & pick up some "U" or "C" channel that they edge doors with

Geez man, so I just got back from the brand new Super Menards and couldn't find any rubber grommets. Nobody even knew really where they would be, guess I'll check with Cyber Druid after I look at Home Depot tomorrow.

Alright well I am passing on the grommets, they aren't all that big and I have to buy a hole saw to use em, I'm cheap so I'll just pass to door trim.
 I actually picked up the door trim today and will put it on tonight but I am suprised that it's plastic, guess I was expecting more of a rubber compound to make it flexible. Oh well, I'll make it work. Thanks for the help all.

all you need is small trim for opening and 4010 or like it clear doublefaced tape,cut your opening,clean any burrs and apply c trim or something like it,cut d-f tape about 1/2around door,ps make panel 1/2 over sized place tape in six places press it on,your done,very easy mod,try colored plexi if you desire
