antec p180 intake fan clips

[ezkim0x]

I purchased 2 intake fans to put on the front of the case, but I can't seem to find the clips that are used to install them.

does anybody know rather the clips come with the case? or if I need to order them somewhere, and where can I get them?

I don't recall any fan clips. I have a 120 mm in front of the upper cage without any clips but the lower will need modification to fit a 120 mm.

do you just have it sitting in there without being attached to anything or what did you do?

I think I wedged it between the metal grill and the drive cage. I can look at it tomorrow and make sure. It doesn't rattle around and fits rather snugly.

You use the plastic fan brackets to install the fans, or you can remove the brackets entirely and use normal screw mounting or use fan isolators. The only place to put a fan in the PSU chamber is the middle of the case. There is nowhere to mount a fan at the front of the case. The fan mount in the main chamber is in front of the HD cage (duh).

I had just seen these clips, and that's why I was looking for them..

That's for the P180B case (the black one). The article wasn't clear if they've made the same alterations to the silver version aside from the new door design. If you've got the earlier silver version, you don't get the clip. The P180B only comes with a single clip.

ahhh.. yeah I have the silver one.
