Default How do I do this?

sup all, I have the centurion 5. I saw a couple of people post pics and added a 120mm fan in the front of the case where the CD/DVD drives can be.
How did they go about having it stick there? If I remove the front mesh panel does it have screws to fit a 120mm fan?
I think a 120 LED fan would look cool there since I saw others do it also.
Thanks again!

I haven't seen the setups you are talking about, but I used this on my Rocketfish to add an intake fan.

as long as you have mesh in front of it, use zip ties. i have done that on most of my rigs. the mesh is covering the fan, you cant even tell, but you can tell a fan is there because of the leds.

like mine????

easy! remove 3 drive bay covers. tape them together in the front so they are lined up like they would be in the drive bays. then, flip them over to the back and get a CD and trace the outline of it so its even on all sides. cut out the circle (or cut each piece separately). Then all you do is super glue the fan onto them, put some c-channel (or the ghetto way like I did with door edge guard for a car), reinstall and you are done. Took about an hour start to finish

so, umm a question, did you remove the fan from its bracket?
I don't see the bracket thingy, so Im assuming you just have the fun glued to the front 3 panels?
How would it not hit the sides of the panel though when it spins?
Srry Im a noob to all this modding stuff

when you buy the fan, leave it as-is. I did NOT remove the bracket...matter of fact the bracket is whats superglued to the drive bay covers.
Here is the actual guide I used as my inspiration. Follow it to the letter for fantastic results!
