ideas how to mount a Panaflow 120mm fan?

[dawheat]

I have the Addtronics 6896a which has a 120mm fan mount in the front. However the Panaflow fan which i purchased is WAY too wide to fit into the plastic mount. Any ideas how to use this nice quiet fan for this case? The 120mm fan that came with the case is much thinner- but louder and moves less air.

I too am in the process of putting together my old system into an Addtronics 6896a. I replaced the stock fan in the front with a Panaflow low-flow 120mm fan, which is much thicker. In any case (no pun intended), I prefer to screw the fan on to the case front anyway, so you have no choice but to drill four holes for this purpose. By the way, just to act as a "gasket" (to hopefully cut down on vibration), I lined the periphery of the fan body with a THIN line of silicone sealant.
