Yet again - another poll from me.

What case fans do you have?

If you have multiple - which I'm sure most do - a comment would help tons. Thanks!

 

I'm having to design a universal fan mounting panel... but with how the mounting holes are placed I either need to cut support for 80mm fans or let 92mm fans "wobble" a bit when (~2 mm) attached. Input on this dilemma would help too.

I also decided to omit non-standard fans so the data would be more usable.

I would say just cut support for 80.

Shouldn't it be fairly easy to make something that can hold them all?  Just have 4 "slots" cut out that radiate out from the centre at 45° in the corners, and in them have rubber grommets or something.  I'll draw and upload a picture in a second...

 

this: The black represents solid area (case metal) and the white represents any open air.  The red shows the actual size of outlines of fans of the sizes you have in the poll

and then have these in the slots to screw the fan of any size into

That would work for mounting fans, but I want to "integrate" it into the case's panel - I need literally every mm of space possible. If I dimension something like this correctly, It would be able to mount 92, 120, and 140mm fans - and you could place it above any part of the motherboard you want.

On a side note - Is this a glitch? Even after refreshing the page, the formatting doesn't change. ( I zoomed out from normal to include comment & quote.)

120's even though my case can fit 140's.

 

Bought some Corsair SF120's for in my old case, and now this case supports 140mm fans, I'm too cheap to go buy some SF140's :P not to mention it'll make practically 0 difference.

Ah, interesting idea.  Make the form and the function one and the same :)

Although that particular image isn't too appealing to me, the vents seem very small - it would be a very restrictive grill.

Firefox.

Refreshing the page didn't help - but "restarting" fixed it. It could've been an internet issue.

I'm following the (most) TAC guidelines for case construction.

The image shown has a 42.6% percent "permeability". TAC states "It is recommended to have an effective open area of 60 percent". I plan to use ~60-70% just to be safe.
