    Question case fan problem

    Hey guys, you know how some cases comes with its holder or clips for the case fan~~
    if there's no case fan holder included, then how do I put it on??
    I tried to screw it on, but the holes don't seem to fit properly.
    Or should I go buy some case fan holder?? But I checked a lot of computer store, and they don't carry things like that....helps~!!

    new fans are ALWAYS a ***** to screw in, if you have the right screws the fan will mount, it just takes a little effort

    Fan screw are larger than normal case screws -- are you using the right kind of screws? You might find some at Best Buy type store, or maybe a local hardware shop. www.svc.com has them for very cheap.

    Pinch two of the four fan screws from the PSU and use them till you can get some more the same size.
