How Can I tell the size of case fan I can use?

How can I tell if an 80mm fan or 120mm fan will fit in my case?

What's the case? One of the easiest way is to measure it actually (ruler, tape, etc).

What case do you have or make and model?

You will see theres 4 holes surrounding the fan area , if you measure the distance from each you can easily tell if its a 80mm fan fitting or 120mm. Normaly ATX full size and ATX Mid tower cases use 120mm or 140mm fans , Mini or Micro ATX cases usually use 80mm 60 mm fans. Hope this helps.

Looks like Your case uses 120mm fans.

I am looking to switch out the blue fan with two fans that have purple lighting. Anyone know much about LED light stripes that go into the PC chassis? To give it a nice glow? I am needing to replace one of the fans and my GF request purple lighting over blue, so UI was trying to get a purple LED fan and found only an 80mm one on Amazon. Also interested in installing extra LED lighting for more purple lighting.

Bitfenix Alchemy strips for the extra purple lighting, and...

Hmm, I can't seem to find it, but there are some really nice 120mm fans out there with purple lights. I want to say the manufacturer starts with a "T" - they also make cases, and I think are based in the UK.
