80mm Fans in Chieftec

[Leeum]

Is there anyway i can mount 2x 80mm fans at the rear of a chieftec without using the fan cradle/ holders. The holes just don't line up atm :rant:Why do i get the feeling i should've ordered 2x 92mm fans instead :angry:

Cut out the perforated grills and drill new mounting holes.

I'm not sure if it's worth painting the fan holders instead :blink: Any pictures of this mod?

They look like this (http://prudhoe.codeword.com/mnpctech/AlumFilter/wb.Lowerfilter.jpg) ..correct Leeum?

Got a dremel? Just cut out the factory grill where its attached to the chassis. Line up your fan and mark off the four mounting holes, grab a drill and have fun.

You don't need to cut out the grill, but less bypass noise and better airflow. "Its a good thing Leeum"

It is a good thing, so much so i've already done it ^_^ I've decided to use the fan cradles aswell, painted them silver. All explained in the next update. Thanks again Bill :)

Also if you want some more room on the inside and if you want it to look cleaner mount the fans on the outside. It won't hurt your airflow.
