Ok if you cannt tell form the picture the 120mm fan of my Centurion 5 is hitting the PCB board of the Karajan audio module that is on my DFI Lanparty Ultra-D. So does anyone have a suggestion. I am very sad just got all my stuff in today and the MOBO wont even go in the case.

Could I use a hack saw and cut a notch in the 120mm fan for the board?
 
If you got a Dremel, You could cut a notch out of the Fan. How much would you have to cut into it?
 
not realyl any help herte, but a suggestion...thats onboard audio? usually onboards arent so great, not that i know of this particular DIF board or sound module. but why not throw in an PCI audigy or sblive or something?

just my .02
 
Well I have always had onboard and not had a problem with it so yeah.

I dont have a dremel could I use like a hack saw? Probably less than half an inch probably like a 4th of an inch, into the base of the fan not near the blades.

Anyone wana give me the OK? I really dont wana have to saw my 3hour old case if I dont have to anyone think of anytihng else I could do?

Ok fine, my dad said he has a dremel so yeah, its getting cut
 
So I cut the fan with a dremel and it all fits together nicely now. Now I just have to wait for my PSU to get here so I can really get goign and put everything together.
 
cut the chunk of the fan out. I did it on a fan to fit it on a heatsink once. You could use a file too if you want a smoother look.
