so i was in the market for a new fan, so i dident really know what size i needed, so i went to this site and i checked:

http://www.quietpc.com/faq/27

anyways it said 105mm from screw hole to screw hole was a 120mm fan. WELL my fan is 105mm from the top right screw to the bottem left. thats what i thought...... i guess they ment 105mm from top right to top left or something............

 

so now i got this great fan, and i cant use it......

 

so my question is, what fan size do i need? its 105mm from screw to screw diagonally.

only really 2 sizes being used, 120 and 140mm fans, so if its too small you want 140, NOW there is a issue tho with some fan models being wierd, i got it on my case where the round fans dont fit... im guessing you got the same issue

Should have posted up a picture of the mounting area, a lot of us can tell the size of fan that can fit in there from personal experience. Also unless you have a really bad case, the product page on the case website should tell you what fans fit in different parts of your case.

You don't measure diagonally you measure horizontally or vertically.

 

EDIT: It is probably an 80mm then. You should remeasure but vertically this time. From top left to bottom left.

well crap..... yeah i guess i got a 80mm.... >:(
