You need a 80x80x15mm fan not the standard thickness ones. I picked up >this< one for my cm690 a while back and it fit perfectly with having to bend anything.

I'll put my name in. I am pending a window mod. Still deciding on whether or not I want to hack up the side panel with a jigsaw...

And then that's when I woke up in my desk cubicle looking out the window. How lame.

My parents were out today so it gave me a chance to have a go at removing the honeycomb grill on the top and front panels today. I couldn't get the jigsaw to start a cut on either so I used a hammer and chisel which was much more effective than I had anticipated. I then proceeded to remove the rest with the jigsaw (which could really use a new blade) and although it didn't cut through it like butter, it wasn't particularly difficult to cut.

I took a few photos as proof.







This has got me in the mood for more modding so who knows what I may do next

You don't even need a jigsaw to remove the honeycomb mesh... Just some wire cutters and a little strength

^^^^ Your video card isn't clipped in all the way

With the handy little purple clips where screws normally go.
