Antec Solo, will 140mm fan in rear fit?

Post by Stil » Wed Dec 01, 2010 12:58 am

Going to buy Antec Solo case.
I would like to use Thermalright TY-140 PWM fan with 120mm mounting holes in the rear.

I think the back space in the Antec Solo where you place the fan is just a few mm to small to place the fan.
But I can modify the fan bij shaving of a few mm from each side.

Anyone else have a Antec Solo with a 140mm fan in the rear?
I did try to find similar questions, found nothing.

Sorry for spelling mistakes, I am not used to type in English.

Thanks,

I am going to order Thermalright TY-140

It is exact 134mm?
I am going to try it with modyfying the fan.
I do not know how much i can shave of each side of the fan but 3 mm each side is to much I think.

If shaving sides does not work I will try to place the fan a bit further away from the back.
I can make adaptor and place the fan on top of that.

You can always place the fan on the outside but cooling will suffer a bit.

Yes could place it on the outside.
But goin to try mod first.
If all goes wrong I place a 120mm inside.
