Adding rear 80mm fans to Addtronics 8290A

I have an old Addtronics 8290A (the older style from about '98, not the current one) that has no fans in the rear except for the PSU fan. I was curious if anyone has added an 80mm to the rear. It currently only has air flow holes in the back for a 60mm. Also the rear isn't flat, it's L shaped and there isn't enough room to fit an 80mm on either section (see pics), so I'd have to rig something up, like using an 80mm to 60mm adapter, if it'll fit behind the CPU/slocket (may not).

Not the best but I made them awhile back for other reasons...

I don't think the 80mm fan will fit behind the slot... maybe you could just put a blowhole on the sidepanel?

Bump for ideas.

BTW, the area between the case and the slocket is a little over 2", which the adapters don't look that deep, but I don't know if it'll clear the mobo (parallel port) or not.

Anyone have a 60->80mm fan adapter lying around they could give me some dimentions?
I need the length of the longest parts of both sides, if looking at it sideways?
ie. the length of the longest part top and bottom sides if looking at it this way:
=========

....\........./
