I saw those, but I think those are only circular not ovalish(if that's a word).

They're also free.

They finally arrived.

Haha, I know. I only expected a few.

I got 10 large grommets, and 3 small ones.

I ordered some, insanely easy, so thanks! When you cut your wire management holes, you should post the pattern you used.. Heh

It's good to see I helped someone.

I'll be posting some pictures of the holes sometime.

What exactly did you tell them to get them to send you that for free?

Hi,

I need to acquire replacement motherboard grommets, such as found on the Corsair 700D. What would be the way to go about that, and how much do they cost?

Thank you for your time!

Even though I figured I'd get them at no cost, I wanted to throw in the question, so that they didn't think I was a freeloader, and would be more willing to help out. Plus, at that time I didn't know if there would be a shipping charge or not (there isn't).

Could someone do me a favor and measure their holes in the 800d? the ones with the grommets (but measure without the grommets). please, thanks. Im making holes in my case and i would like to know the exact sizes of these holes, so i when i get some of these grommets, they will fit perfectly.

I don't have an 800D, but my grommets fit perfectly in the holes I cut.

I'll measure them when I get back from school.

Lying is not good...I would feel fine about this if I had an 800D, but I do not...
Thanks for the heads up, but I don't think you should ever lie. Full stop.

Can't wait to see the mod, and thanks for the link Smasher.

If you think that is lying, then you have a bit of learning to do. I did not lie once in that request I made to corsair, and I do not appreciate the implication. I requested replacement grommets, such as those found on the 700D. I never said once that I had one, and if you would take the time to read the message, I expressed willingness to pay for them. I never expect apologies to take place over an internet setting, so I won't ask for one, but I would appreciate it if you would read full into the situation before taking the time out of your day to give a morality lecture.

Thank you for the lesson on morality. What are we going to learn about tomorrow?

Thanks for the info Satsukeshi. I was wondering where I was going get those grommets.

i'm gonna get me some grommets for my tempest

 

[budzos]

I just left an email contacting customer support with a request to buy a set of these grommets. Is that how the rest of you ordered these or is there a specific part#?
These will really improve my cable management in my Antec 900.

[LiLChris]

Ohhh i want!

I can use 2 of these for my haf 932...i think it would fit.

 

[dusters16]

You do NOT need to buy them, I got them for free with free shipping. Just call the customer service number.

(888-222-4346)

It will have a recording, just go to the general customer service choice (#3) and ask for the Spare Parts division. Once there, ask the person nicely that you would like a set of the 800d grommets and they will ask you to email them your mailing address.

Here's what I put in my email.

Hello, we spoke on the phone briefly about me getting some of the grommets for the 800D case. Thank You for excellent customer service!

ps: its not lying when you dont say that you dont have an 800d case. you just say you are modding your case and want the new holes to look nice to go along with the rest of the case.
