80mm, although you could fit a 120mm with some basic modding.

Actually, if you use EAR fan mounts through the front grille you can mount a 120mm x 25mm without any mods at all. The fan does angle upwards a little where the front panel catch resides at the bottom of the case, but I found this useful in angling the airflow over my hd, which sits on foam at the front bottom.

Please vertify. What is EAR and how it is done?

Here.

They decouple the fan from the case to keep vibrations from being transferred. They work great.

I buy them in packs of 20 from McMaster-Carr because they're cheaper that way. Info here.
