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. 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?

But instead of doing that I would replace the existing 80mm fan on the back and put this 120mm fan back there. I'd leave the front fan ports empty instead of putting fans in there just to keep the noise levels down. Cricket

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.

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