I have the side panel and window. I'm going to add a 80mm hold and want this fan grill with black screws (wonder why they used normal ones in the picture). I searched everywhere, but can't find it. Please help in my quest!

Thanks...I really like it too. I even sent the editor of the article an email asking if he'd sell me this grill. I know a long shot, but read what he said about the grill in his artilcle.

The side panel has been carefully thought about by Chieftec. It covers the motherboard area nicely and features a window fan, which blows cold air over the motherboard. My only problem with the window fan is the grill; I personally feel the window would look better with an external chrome grill rather than the pinhole speaker type.

I have it on my cheiftec case. If anyone has any laser cut fan grills they wanna trade for it, I'd be happy to. I've been looking for some.

I'm guessing it's just speaker grill material. You could probably make one yourself. Not sure where you would get the speaker grill material but I know it's available somewhere. I used to frequent a car audio forum and I know a lot of people make kickpanel speaker enclosures and use that material to make speaker grills.

I think that grill is pretty detrimental to air flow, the holes look smaller than the ones they stamp onto cases

Check home depot / lowes they should have some material similar to that. Just buy it and cut it into the size you want.

look for generic car speaker grills. They may have one in a size that fits your case fan. I myself am partial to the aluminum mesh grills.
