nexus case fan

After coming to the conclusion that my old cheap 120 mm rear exhaust fan was way too loud, I ordered the nexus 120mm case fan. It came with no fasteners or screw grooves. What do I use to fasten the fan onto the case? Are there any retail stores that carry these products?

Thanks

Thanks, I fastened my fan to the case with the zip ties and vacuum hosing suggested in the article. It works great, but unfortunately my case will not shut all of the way because of the diameter of the vacuum hosing. I have an evercase 4252. Just wanted to share that with other evercase 4252 owners.

The side of the case pretty much covers the 120mm holes even without the hose, it's a pretty tight fit. I ended up using E-A-R grommets instead of vacuum hose on mine, and had to cut little rectangles out of the edge in order for it to fit. It's really not too hard to do with tin snips, and pretty much must be done if you want to use a 120mm on the rear of the 4252...
