Cooling Antec Sonota

I was thinking of putting in to Vantec stealth fans, blowing on hd bay and one on video card and putting a zaman heatpipe on my 9700 pro. My sonota is not to loud when the fan is hooked to the power supply - but way to loud when ran direct. Asus probe reports my cpu temp as 35 under load and mb as 25, under quiet mode. Still I think my pw and hd got to hot when gaming. The hd drive now makes a noticable clicking sound when working and the power supply make an extra noise (I think) when running 3dmark 2001. I wanted to put a switch on the fans, to activate for gaming, off otherwise. Not overclocking.

Does this seem reasonable? Also what is the best way to mount these fans, as the sonota has no regular case fan mounts? I guess glue is out of the question.
