Alternatives to this McMaster edge trim?

I'm finally going to clean up the ugly hole I cut in my case for my 120mm fan. I need to get some edge trim to hide the fact that I cut the hole too big and neglected to clean up the edges. I've been to Home Depot and Lowes in search of rubber edge trim, but I've come up empty handed.

McMaster-Carr has a billion things and one of them is edge trim. I found some that would work, but I have to buy at least 10 feet of it and then pay for shipping. Their ordering system doesn't allow you to see the shipping cost prior to placing your order, unfortunately, so I'm figuring it'll be $6-$7. That pushes the total price close to $20!

Has anyone found a source for cheap edge trim? Anyone want to buy a Coolermaster side panel with a 127mm hole in it? 😉
 
I've seen several ppl perform exactly what you want to do on the SPCR forums, you could try there and see where they found it.

What case is that btw?
 
This stuff from Bestbyte costs 40¢ per foot and is the same as the McMaster 8510K11 which sells for 22¢ per foot. If I'm ordering a bunch of stuff from McMaster, I'll throw some of the molding in with the order, if I'm ordering just the molding, I get it from Bestbyte.

It looks like this when it's installed:

Not at all. Your hole looks great, you just need a bigger grill behind it. Or maybe one of those laser-cut fan grills on top of it.
