Does anyone know where to get these plastic fan mount thingos?
My Case is missing one and id like to put another fan in the front.
It probably depends on the size. It is likely 80mm, but I have some cases with 92mm and 70mm. It would be easiest to measure the mount holes, then throw together a quick sketchup model that you export to a STL and 3D print.

I don't have a 3d printer unfortunately.
I was hoping someone stocked them on ebay , but I haven't had any luck finding them.
This may sound really janky but you can use velcro tape on the corners of the fan (and of course on the corresponding points on the case) to mount a fan if you can't find the right cage. This has the added benefit of reducing noise transferred from the fan to the case.

That's actually not a bad idea , I've also found a mount for a 80mm fan to heatsink I might be able to snap of some extra bits of plastic and get it to mount.

Looks like there might be holes that would line up with the fan's mounting holes? Perhaps "rubber screws" could be used too?
