Power Supply Size Fan Suggestions?

[scoreadeal]

Have an Antec case which has support for two power supplies, and would like to put a fan in the one power supply fan bay. The holes on a 80mm case fan don't line up and when I measured, the holes on the case are about 82mm on center. Anyone got any suggestions?

Think outside the box. You don't need screws to attach a fan.

Well, I could probably zip tie it on, but that would be cheasy... nobody makes fans that size? Now that I looked at it again, it's actually 4 screw holes and a metal grate, it's not setup like a power supply opening.

What's wrong with zip ties? Hell, you could even cut out a foam rectangle shaped as a gasket to reduce the noise caused by transmitted vibrations and keep it in place with the zip ties.
