it doesnt state the case has a 120mm fan slot but the rear fan grill looks to have have screw holes that fit 2 different fan sizes. what those sizes are is anyone's guess. one comment about that fan grill is that it looks VERY restrictive. Ideally you want one with a honeycomb pattern with minimal material to block flow. that grill is just a bunch of small holes punched out in a circular pattern which wont help your cooling situation at all. For comparison check the back of this centurion case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.asp?Image=11%2D119%2D094%2D02%2Ejpg%2C11%2D119%2D094%2D03%2Ejpg%2C11%2D119%2D094%2D04%2Ejp g%2C11%2D119%2D094%2D05%2Ejpg%2C11%2D119%2D094%2D06%2Ejpg%2C11%2D119%2D094%2D07%2Ejpg%2C11%2D119%2D0 94%2D08%2Ejpg%2C11%2D119%2D094%2D09%2Ejpg%2C11%2D119%2D094%2D10%2Ejpg%2C11%2D119%2D094%2D14%2Ejpg%2C 11%2D119%2D094%2D15%2Ejpg%2C11%2D119%2D094%2D11%2Ejpg%2C11%2D119%2D094%2D12%2Ejpg&CurImage=11%2D119%2D094%2D08%2Ejpg&Description=COOLER+MASTER+Centurion+532+RC%2D532%2DSKN1+Black+Aluminum+bezel%2C+SECC+chassis+ATX+Mid +Tower+Computer+Case+%2D+Retail). Of course if you're wedded to your case, a pair of tin snips can fix the problem. At least it did for me :).

That case already has 2 80mm fans - what do you need another one for?

is there a place to put this fan on that case if i do buy it?Yes, it looks like you can mount two intake fans on the front part of the chassis (in front of the long drive cage).

But instead of doing that I would replace the existing 80mm fan on the back and put this 120mm fan (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811998121) back there. I'd leave the front fan ports empty instead of putting fans in there just to keep the noise levels down.

Those fans would make a lot of noise together, consider just 1-2 quiet fans.

I still think the two 80mm's that are already in there are plenty - one in back and one on top.

I still think the two 80mm's that are already in there are plenty - one in back and one on top.Actually, I feel the same...but if PlanesWalker really feels the need to buy another fan I think getting a 92mm or 120mm fan would be better than getting another 80mm fan.

But to keep noise down to a minimum just using the two stock fans the way they are would be his best bet.
