Fan screw nuts.

Well my case doesn't have an intake mount for a fan, but it does have a "mesh" if you will. I'm going to get a fan soon and I'm thinking about mounting it on the "mesh", the holes on the mesh are a little larger than the screws so nuts were the natural idea. Does anyone know what size nuts (i'm thinking winged nuts) to use with 80mm fan screws?

Your typical fan screws are self-tapping. They cut right into the plastic of the fan - no nuts needed. If you aren't using standard fan screws, but some other kind of normal screw, then take one along to the hardware store. They will have a way to determine what you have. If the mesh is too big, the standard fan screws might pull thru as the heads on them arent very big, so you may need washers - I think those would be #8 or #10 washers, but once again I'd take the screw along to the store and test.
