Put a 120mm fan in 5.25 bays

[lukeqsee]

Can you put a 120mm fan in three 5.25 bays? Case is CoolerMaster Centurion 5.

as long as it fits, why not? It's going to hurt anything and the drives will have a bunch of air flow around them, which is always good.

[lukeqsee]

do you have to connect it to anything (besides power), or will it just sit in the bays. Or will a couple of zipties do the job?

Zipties should work fine. I've done something similar on one of my older rigs. Only thing you may run in to is some noise from vibration from the fan. Easy enough to fix by folding a small square of paper under the corners of the fan where it makes contact with any case parts to dampen the vibration noise.

as long as it isn't going to fall, who cares whats holding it up ;) The case door will hide that... hehe

Zipties work well, if you tighten them enough the fan won't vibrate.

Yeah, I know, but my old case doesn't have a window so nobody knows (except all of you and I know none of you will tell anybody else!!)
