Yes... Why not? Is just you have less surface area, but doesn't mean it won't work.

Most won't have mounting holes for 120mm fans, so he's have to create some brackets or mount them with cable ties or something.

Yeah be creative, don't let the mounting holes hold you down.

Well you need 4 120mm to fill all the surface area, maybe you can add 2 more.

You can make you own adapter, using wood, that is if you have the tools.
