Anyone knows where to get the rubber strip shown in the attached picture?

Is it an UV rubber strip? I don't want a normal black strip.

If you're just starting, get something cheap (...and expendable tongue.gif ).
Start with small mods & work your way up. Try not to make this case your main casing. Just use it for modding "experiments". biggrin.gif

I started out my first ever modifications on my old beige case that came with the system I bought. I knew if I messed up I wouldn't have to pay through my nose. Same goes for everyone. Start on more expensive items the better your skills are smile.gif Practice always makes perfect especially in this hobby.

EDIT: I think that piece of rubber in your picture is just transparent/ slightly translucent rubber Snoy. It jusy so happens to light up under UV, just like white plastic cable-ties.

I hope you mean a door that is not in use...

Cos if you defaced public property for personal benefit, I find this attitude sickening. shakehead.gif

Why can't Malaysians regard public property with respect?
