screwless fan - where to get it

[kredwin]

I have a chieftec case that has the plastic mounts built in to the case so the fans just snap on. I'm helping a friend out, and his case doesn't have anything, I've been searching the web for aftermarket screwless fan solutions but coudln't find any in the USA.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

If in wrong forum, sorry.

This is the right forum, don't worry about that .

Any reason why he needs screwless fans? The screws help keep the fans from rattling around in the mounts.

any 80x80x25mm fan should work.

? snap mounts use any fan, they don't bother with screw holes.

if ur talking about making holes for fans and attaching em through other means...there are rubber fan grommets, but they are a severe pain to use. theres always hot glue.

You need this sort of stuff. Now you got to find it in the US I guess (I'm from NL).

You can also try to use soft spacers along with ( I don't know what it's called in English ) bolts and wrecks/spoils.

i know exactly what your talking about. I have a thermaltake case that uses the same things. i enjoy them, seeing as they dampen the vibration noise and are easy to dink around with. ANY 80mm fan will work, just pop the old fans out and snap the news ones into place. They are quiet and very efficient.
