3.5'' Bay fan array

Hey Anandtech,
I'm looking for a cooling device to stick in my floppy drive bay. I don't use my floppy drive, and because I have a Falcon Northwest FragBox (www.falcon-nw.com), cooling is an issue for me if I want to upgrade something. So I'm wanting to take advantage of everything I can...do they make a fan for that bay?
 
Hmm, if you actually wanted a fan there, my guess is that it would be small, so as to not suck much air, and be very noisy. why not taping a 40 mm fan up to it?
 
I've been thinking of doing something similar to my system. My plan is/was to take the 2 3.5" plastic fillers, mod them so 1 40mm fan would mount to both of them with the proper hole size. That way the platic fillers could be re-inserted into the case to hold the fan in place and look nice at the same time.

Sorry, can't think of the "technical" name for the plastic parts at the moment...
