I really hate to start a new thread over this. But my pet project has stalled in lieu of a shroud and gasket. For a pa120.3 with the 25mm fan spacing(Actually it's stalled for other reasons too.) But finding a shroud and gasket for the second PA is hopefully something I can still manage....
Soooo.... Does anyone know of a store,that might still have one? Or does anyone have an extra one they might sell?
This isn't going to cut it!!!
LOL...
Nice big roomy case...
Thank you all...

Still overclocking and water cooling. Old stuff mostly... Still buyin' new stuff for my huge monster case though..(Project on hold til' further notice.or til' I suddenly see a fair increase in income. (Even then the gunshows do tend to grab me!!!) But really no new rig to speak of. Currently C2D E8400 on H2O Giga' p43t W/ decent pair o' ddr3 sticks stuffed in a old aluminium coolermaster preatorian case with a shrouded PA140.3 hangin' out of the side.Needs some bigger fans to keep up with this yuma heat though.. TX850. GTX460.Old yellow 1/2" tygon tubing adds some petina to the dear old thing. (As if it needed any.)Really nuthin' to call home about here at least... LOL..
Could you not get someone to laser cut some 2mm alu panel and make custom gaskets? (I don't know where you're from, so suggesting anywhere is tricky)
(you could seal it using some of that self-adhesive draught excluder strip - or another idea Duck Tape(tm) - just stretch it across the rad over the gap between the fans? Right it's late, time for bed)
Unless I'm missing something (and I usually am) why do you need a gasket if you have a shroud?

I probably will wind up making one up.. Or having one made.. I already have 1# to use as the model for the pattern.. And yeah I can make a gasket from the same pattern. The problem is,that rad and shroud are currently in use.
But I am still sorta' hoping someone will have one that they are not using. That they may not have a rad for. And might be willing to part with..
But the prospects of that are looking really dim.. (It really is a long shot. I know) I wrote Thermochill,Dangerden,and a few others.Here and overseas. Inquiring as to what might be gathering dust on some shelf somewhere. But so far no joy.
Edit: Gasket? It's really just a nicety. Softens the fan noise,seals the air a little bit better.. Just a detail....
