ELBox blanking plates
I need 3 front blanking plates(2 5.25” and 1 3.5”) for my ELBox 1200 tower(Power Tower type). Does anyone know if other brands might work? Getting original ELBox plates seems unlikely.

If you can't get the exact plates, (might be worthwhile asking Elbox) they're just 5.25" Blanking plates. The mount may differ but you might be able to re-fashion a fit.
Alternatively, chuck some 5.25" Devices in there to plug the holes up. - Same for the 3.5" Device. - Doesn't matter if they're non-functional but it will increase your Street Cred on looks alone! I'll upload some pics of some I have presently. - I can't remember if they're Elbox or A4000 Tower?? *edit* These are the plates I have stashed in my Amiga bits....

Thanks! I just send an email to ELBox . Thanks for the image, I’ll see if I can find some here locally to see if they fit. I already have 3 DVD-players in the ? but only 1 of them work! It’s all about the looks, eh ? |

If you have, or know someone with a 3D Printer, I put up files for them to print yourself:

Build Plat only should be fine as only the clips stick out from the sides. I would strongly advise using ABS as the plates need to flex a bit when you put them in and PLA is fairly brittle. When I designed the blanking plates, I made the clips wider than the original to give them a bit of strength but hey still tend to snap if you push them too hard. |
