It felt like a bit too modern for the Marvin section, so I thought I might ask here.

I want to install an additional front chassis fan above where the existing one sits. The photo currently shows the tower on its side.
The problem is, there is no support strut or brace to support mounting a chassis fan in the gap as pictured. to the right of the existing fan.

Does anyone know how better to describe these so that I might be able to find one? Current search results are bringing up all sorts of stuff, which is difficult to filter.

Personally, I would use tie wraps instead.

I'd call it a ' drive bay fan holder '
and it seems that google lists several options.

- Mountain Mods ALU Triple 120 (Black Anodized) 5.25 baycover - amazon
- 3x5.25 inch Bays to 120mm Fan Mount for PC - etsy

Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.

My suggestions:
-Zip ties
-3D printing
-Finding a CoolerMaster Stacker 4 in 3 Module (shown in attached pic)

I've never seen anything like what you want available for sale, thought judging from the replies above, they do indeed exist.
