i've been wanting to get some case handles, cos we all now how useful they can be, but my problem is i dont want the to intrude the look of my case. (like some cases iv seen on "casemodgod") i want something subtle or possible sunken into the top of the case.
i was wondering what everyone else has for theirs and if anyone has any suggestions?

Hmm...subtle handles are tricky. I suggest going to a DIY store and looking for something you like. Maybe google 'suble handles' for ideas as well.

I found them when i googled "aluminum case parts" on http://www.starcase.com/
you could also look up luggage suppliers

perhaps rummaging about your friendly neighbourhood car wreckers for a car door handle or two in a suitable style to cannibalise for your case?
or cupboard door handles (ones made of a material of adequate strength)

funny i was going to suggest mnpctech, (minnesotian here, going to promote my guys as much i can) mnpctech has some great stuff, if you're looking for looks check out handles at your nearest home improvement store or get a carrying case like mentioned above

Some toolboxes Ive seen have handles like that except the recesed bit is more circular.

Maybe you could take the lid off one of those toolboxes cut out the bit I was talking about with a dremel cut a hole in the top of your pc and then screw the bit of the toolbox you cut out in.
