Who sells grommets (for fan installation) ? Help!

Where can I buy grommets to use with case fans? Grommets should help block the noise, etc.

Is there a hardware store that sells them? Or maybe an online store... Also, what size would I need?
Thanks!
 
Dude, awesome!

But these guys must be buying them somewhere else, like a hardware store or a warehouse. I'd like to buy directly, cutting out the middleman 🙂 I'm sure these are like 2 cents each!
 
Any hardware store that sells screws will most likely sell rubber grommets too. Check out places like Home Depot - that's where I bought mine.

I checked out 2 Home Depots. Neither one carried the grommets of the right size. They were all too big. You bought yours online or local? Do you have any part # info? Thanks in advance!
 
I'm in Toronto, so probably Canadian Home Depots stock different items than US counterparts. Plus...there are tons of hardware surplus stores here and they sell grommets for about 5 cents (CDN) a piece 😉.
 
Ah, PainMan! Thanks. I will make a trip to my local RadioShack tomorrow.. err, today already. I was very surprised to find out that Home Depot doesn't carry small grommets. Bastards!
 
You're welcome, and I hope you didn't wander the halls of Home Depot in vain for too long. That place can be frustrating if you're not looking for wood or bathroom fixtures.
 
I bought some at Radio Shack...they came in a bag of like 50 of assorted sizes.

Edit: Whoops, I guess I should read the entire thread next time...I see someone already said Radio Shack. Sorry!!!
