I've been searching on ebay without luck trying to find a replacement handle or two for my B&W g3. Had a little accident and the front lower "handle" shattered, so for now the tower sits un-even, I had to put something under it to even it out for the time being -- that, and it looks horrible. Has anybody noticed any place selling these white handles? Or is ebay gonna be my only way, and probably have to buy a whole case -

It may be worth it to looking around for schools/companies in your area that have rack mounted G3's. They would have removed the handles to mount them and if they have them I'm sure they would just give them to you.

how about for the time being, you take one of the handle on the top off and stick it on the bottom? least it would sit flat until you find a replacement.

That actually would have been a good idea, except the top handles are not the same as the bottom handles, Top handles won't fit on the lower side

I remember seeing tower feet for sale that would raise the units off the floor a few inches. I can't remember the company that sold them though.

I must be the only person left using a B&W G3.

That was sarcasm of course.
