I am looking for the best, yet thinnest radiator fans. 

 

In the bitfenix pandora there is 65mm of space for a rad before running into the bracket, which I do not want to remove, and with my silverstone td02, and the fans it is 70mm. So I am looking for a fan that would be a smaller profile, yet still deliver enough air flow for cooling.

Not 120. Since it is in the pandora, I am only able to use 120/240mm radiators.

Ah then I don't know.

Try these:

120mm Akasa AK-FN078

They move a decent amount of air for a thin fan, Could I ask why your fans need to be so slim?

The bitfenix pandora has 65mm of clearance for a radiator. The silverstone td02 is 45mm itself, fans are 25, so about 70mm. I am 5mm over. And while yes I can remove the drive cage, I would like to keep it there until I get around to figuring out how to mod the top to turn the drive again.

AH! I see, well I have this problem too when I fit my 2nd 240mm rad to the front of my 500R, The work around I figured was to make a little plexi/acrylic shroud or shelf (imagine the 900D where it has a lower compartment, basically that) I'm not sure how many drives you have, but I have 2 so I could make a little display for my SSD and the HDD could sit nice and snug on the shelf that covers the PSU. Not only do this allow you to hide all the cables but remove the cages too.

That is the issue. Where the ssd is mounted on the pandora, for it to show, I have to remove that in order to get enough clearance for the radiator and fans.

Can you take some pics so I can get a better idea and see if I can offer a solution?
