Default Adding a side panel fan

I have a COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UB computer case. On left side panel there is an air duct. This air duct is mounted on the case panel by 4 screws. I was wondering if I could remove this air duct and replace it with an 80mm fan?

This version of the case (I own the silver aluminum version) shows where that air duct is if you don't know what I'm talking about - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119047 - in picture 6.

well remove the screws and see if an 80mm fan fits in it's place. If not then it's time to get your dremel out.

Definetly would be a good thing. Especially if you can mount the fan AND the duct, that blows ambient room temp on your HSF, good cooling
