I hope this isn't TOO lazy of me but I googled around a bit and haven't run into anything that's quite right. My pc is on the carpeted floor to my left between the entertainment center and the desk. I have to slide it forward to get to the back semi regularly and the rubber feet make this annoying. I was going to just put some small adhesive furniture slides under there but I love my new case and wouldn't mind upgrading with some nice metal feet with smooth bottoms. It would also be nice to give the bottom fans some extra breathing room since the feet sink into the carpet a little and there's almost no space left. The closest thing I found is these

but they have rubber on the bottom and even if I take it out it looks like they won't slide that well. Any ideas? Thanks gents.
 
Attach carpet sliders (They are used for furniture) to the bottom of those feet.

The sliders are available at Walmart for less than $5 I think.
 
It looks like you could pry out the rubber from those feet to make sliding a bit easier. However, instead, I would get a short prefinished shelf to set the case on and just slide the shelf out; carpet sliders could be put under the shelf to make sliding easier. The shelf would also maintain air space under the case and might reduce the amount of dust the PSU tries to suck in.
 
thanks guys i appreciate it. forgot about the thread.

Bottle caps make good sliders when the right glue is used. PVC or copper pipe endcaps are useable, some friction fit over rubber feet.

Auto parts nylon sway bar bushings may let you get creative.
Motorcycle sliders are also possible: some expensive here
