Evening ladies, gentlefolk and the community in general. Need a bit of help please as its driving me nuts.
I want to cool a cabinet I've bought which hosts some storage, server kit, bridges, hubs etc. To say it out loud, I'm a cheap ass, but don't want it to look cheap
I want 120mm fans with a reasonable CFM (this isn't the issue), but I need to mount two of them to the side of the cabinet and what I'm struggling with is mounting plates to match my cabinet (white and grey)
I can buy the AC Infinity set, 2 x 6' with the temp control for probably about £150+, in the UK but its black and I'd have to piece things together and not really needing the temp control as such. The white version is only really available in the US, so I also run into import fees. Shipping is also a killer as it's about $60 economy.
I can buy black faceplates from Amazon UK for £22 each delivered, yet the white ones are £47 each which is bloody stupid, especially when I want two (cool air in, hot air out).
This is basically what I want: AC Infinity White Ventilation Grille 6" (16 cm), for PC Computer AV Electronic Cabinets, mounts one 120mm fan, replacement grille for AIRPLATE S3/T3: Amazon.co.uk: Hi-Fi & Speakers
All I really want is a white 120mm plastic vented faceplate that I can mount the fan on the inside of the cabinet; I've even looked at 3d printed, and. have an .stl template, but they want a minimum order of £40+ VAT, which for two plastic faceplates is also just stupid.
Suggestions welcome.
N.B preferably, it's easy for me to cut a square cutout than round as I don't have a big enough holesaw.
