Looks cool. Are they drawer pulls?

Yes I think so, got them at a garage sale

Also because they are rounded it slides very easy on carpet as a bonus 🤣

That's what thought they were when I saw the pic, and my 1st thought was how easy it must be to move on carpet vs standard feet.
Nice lateral thinking! and much better then my fix (just on top of a small box)

I'm not entirely happy, I have top washers as well inside the case except the back right, because the motherboard try blocks the washers. I'm going to have to get a saw and a vice to trim one down or make a notch in the tray for the washer to fit.

Not to bad. I like the idea, keeps the computer up higher.

I do believe places like Loews and staples carry case feet, or felt or plastic feet for chairs, same thing more or less.

What I've done in the past is make a small board slightly larger than the base of the case, out of wood or ply, and put casters on that. It looks kind of like a skateboard and has the advantage of putting any PC on it that you want (it's not attached to the case).

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

My 486 is missing 1 foot, works out a beer bottle top is just the right height, just make sure the top of the top? is facing down so you don't scratch the desk!

I had a case that was missing a single foot.
I've used cardboard cut into squares and piled up till the desired height is attained, then taping them over with this very sturdy black-colored nuke-proof tape and stuck it under the case and it's still there yeears later, fantastic stuff! 😁
