Is there a way to mount a fan without screws?

[Gerard_14]

Hello,
I'm getting new hardware tomorrow and i thought that adding a fan might help the airflow. I want it to be a intake fan in the front in the free space shown in the pictures below. Only thing is I'm not sure how to mount it there, because there are no holes for screws there. The width is a little less than 150mm and the height should be no problem. It's a 140mm fan so I was wondering if there is a way to mount it there firmly without screws

The case is a Coolermaster Cosmos 1000. It already has 3 exhaust and 1 intake, so I thought that adding another intake in the front would improve it

I mean, you could zip tie it. That's what I would do, but shy of that, not really sure.

That might actually work pretty well, since there are gaps in the side. Thanks for the replies, I just noticed you answered my other thread aswell 😛

Haha, no problem. Good luck!

Haha, no problem. Good luck!

thanks! I was also wondering if I should alter something with the front. The door is going to be removed, but does the removable front panels mess up the intake air?

It looks like the only air intake issues you'll see are at the bottom there, where it looks like you have a solid piece of sheet metal. I would clean those removable mesh grates, and put a fan there, if you're alright with the inside looking pretty derpy

Alright, I was thinking about putting it there too, the bottom is for hard drives and stuff. No worries about it looking derpy though, because the case isn't transparent and I won't see any derps at all hehe

Yeah, definitely clean those grates then, and you should be fine
