Silver Stone 120mm in Antec 900?

10pmStalker · 02-06-2009, 10:07 AM

I just got a few Silver Stone 120mm case fans http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835220014 I took the hard drive bay out of the antec 900, removed the original fan and noticed it has no screws and clamps/clips in and out. Is it possible to add my new silver stone fans?

BTW, your link does not work. That being said, I see no reason why you can't add those fans even if you have to drill holes and screw them in with some small metal screws. That is what I would do if I wanted to put them in there. BTW, you can purchase those clamps/clips at various places around the net if you just want to replace the original type. I haven't looked, but my guess is that NewEgg might have them, so I would go there and take a look.

Your silverstones should just slot in where the antecs came out, just be careful to thread the wires so as they will not get damaged

yeah I figured that too kodi but there is no possible way to put them in the slots that the originals came out of. I will just drill holes like tumbleweed says. Should work just fine

You can break some of the plastic away so as the wiring fits, I had to do that with mine
