Custom case feets

[Andreas W]

Hi im planning a little mod project and it involves me changing the case feets on my 800D but all the case feets I find only sells in 4, so my question is would my 800D be stand stable with 4 rubber feets if I move them closer to the center thus eliminating the need to buy 2x packages.

1. What is wrong with the feet that came with the 800D?
2. If it takes more that 4 feet to keep your 800D stable then do it. Use more feet. Your the only one that will know by trying.

I have the same feet on my case and consider them overkill. The only reason I used them is so they would cover the 1/4-20 bolts I permanently fastened to the bottom of the case in case I wanted to bolt the rig down.

I am planning on removing the front panel for a flat aluminum piece and because of that front feet will stick out after this, but are the original feet easy to remove? I could always just move the front feet back about 2cm.

Lady Fitzgerald when you exchanged your old case feet for these did you notice any difference in sound or vibrations being lowered?

Why not just get a cart for the PC i did and it works and looks great not even a eyesore

here are some pic of what i mean

I did look at something like that, the wheels would be nice to have since getting my computer out from its small space with rubber feets are quite annoying and I take it out quite often to clean out dust. But how are that one is all plastic or metal/aluminum

 

[Solarstarshines]

it's all plastic the only metal you will find will be on the wheel cast that are seated inside of the cart

So you don't have to worry about any kind of electro static build up

I have another one that is all metal but this one right here is more Durable i think based on the wide base and it fits a full size tower with no balance issues

Nope.

I see, then I might just consider that cart or see if I can find one in my country to reduce the weight to see if the shipping would be lower without the rubber feets, thank you guys for your info and feedback.

I like this one so well I ordered another as soon as I assembled the first. I'll also link the original unit I used and it's wheels didn't prove durable it was adjustable to tilt the case back and that was way cool for presenting optical's and other front mounted items.

On the first link it has a 5th wheel dead center and that makes a huge difference !

Ya I looked on the first one on the site I'm planning on ordering from but they must have showed a bad picture of it because I had no idea it had a fifth wheel in the middle, that's kind of neat both for stability and durability

looked it up and that syba with 5 feet can handle up to 66 lbs and a corsair 800d is about 30 lbs so that's really nice, sad part is that amazon cant ship that thing to Sweden, why it cant do that no idea they talk about restriction etc
