1426037 2016-09-15 04:07:00 We would need to know what kind of foam you mean en.wikipedia.org :)

ParaRubber would sell that sort of stuff if there are any shops left, our local one disappeared years ago.

Edit: you could also look in the rubbish skips behind appliance shops like Noel Leeming, or Harvey Norman, nothing beats free ..........:)

Otherwise maybe try a case modding supplier or maybe overclockers.co.nz

1426041 2016-09-15 04:47:00 Like here. So you can pass cables through it (www.youtube.com)

Creatology fun foam. It shows it at 2:41 above

Nah dont need soundproofing. I was going to replace the fans. Because I thought they'll be too loud. I can hardly hear them.

This case came with 5 LED fans lol

1426042 2016-09-15 05:01:00 So, you need a craft shop. We have a new one in Upper Hutt called Lincraft, there maybe one near you www.lincraft.co.nz

Also Warehouse Stationery have a wide range of craft items, they may have something suitable, Otherwise try and find some thin closed cell foam and use contact adhesive.

Edit: there may be some packaging material that is suitable, ie the rubbish bins behind shops :)

1426043 2016-09-15 05:04:00 Oh right yup that place is the next street in front of us in Taupo. May check it out.

I think that foam has an adhesive backing. Just cut the shape of what you want to stick it on. And peel the backing

1426044 2016-09-15 05:12:00 The only decent foam is the small amount on the top of a cold beer. Much more interesting!
