Replacement rubber feet

Anyone got any good ideas as to a sensibly priced solution to my problem.

I have lost 2 of the rubber feet from the bottom of my Inspiron 8600 laptop. Dell passed me onto a company called Upgrade Options - who charge an eye-watering Â£22+VAT+Delivery for 4 little replacement rubber feet! This obviously is too stupid an amount of money to pay out for this - any ideas as to a suitable alternative replacement?

I'll try another "help" desk person - maybe I can find one that will do that for me rather than fobbing me off.

Failing that, i'm sure you can buy generic "feet" elsewhere, perhaps at a local hardware or electronics store. Rubber pads for stuff aren't that uncommon.

call tech support if your system is still within warranty. they should be able to replace that.. but if not just ask for the part number and let them transfer you to spare parts.. ;>

That is what I did...their spare parts seems to have been outsourced.
