How to cover a side panel hole ?

[Relion]

I have this Chieftec Dragon : http://images.infoteldistribut...mages/medium/usb-c.jpg

I am also using a CoolerMaster V8 HS to cool the processor.

The thing is that the V8 is so high it wont let me place a fan where it is supposed to go.

I don't mind not having that fan, but the hole on the side looks ugly.

Is there any elegant part to cover it ? I have tried looking Amazon for something like a "side panel cover" but unsuccessfully, anyone knows if this exists...and if it does, what would the name be ?

Thanks!

You could also bolt the fan on the outside as opposed to inside. Just get longer bolts to mount the grille so you can keep pets from being ingested and shaved by the fan.

I have that exact same case in Antec flavor, although I've done numerous modifications by now. Still providing a good home for an i7 10 years after I bought it!

You can buy those blow-hole covers, and they ARE cheap.

But you could also get a Lexan plate and use a Lexan knife to cut the pieces you need. Then just smooth the edges and drill your holes.

The funny part is that I am using that while I wait for the slim fan
