Hey guys!

I'm looking for a way to mount a 120mm fan in 3x5.25" bays for my mom's PC.

 

I've fount the Scythe Kama Bay, but it's been discontinued (since Scythe doesn't exist anymore :().

I've also found the Lian-Li BZ-502B, but it's also sold out, and $30+ is a bit steep for something so simple...

 

My question is whether there are any other solutions out there?

 

Thanks,

MountainMods makes one for $10 but your going to need a fan filter or some pantyhose to make a ghetto filter. http://www.mountainmods.com/mountain-mods-acrylic-triple-bay-120mm-fan-mount-p-405.html

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Thanks!  :)

My mom's case is an old (circa 2004) HP Pavilion d1000e case, so I could theoretically buy this or this and mount it on the front...

Lol... I don't think my mom would appreciate hot glue in her case...  :P
