How did you guys get yours installed? I bought the correct sized fan, but not quite sure how to go about getting it in there. Do I need another one of those plastic fan brackets that snap in?
 
The case should have one of those plastic fan brackets down there already.

If you don't have one there, you can use one of the upper ones. Then for the upper bay, you can just screw the upper fan in (the holes match up if you look through the front after removing the filters (etc.).
 
I don't think he's referring to the one with the bracket. I believe he's talking about the narrower space just immediately behind the dust cover thingy.

That space is not officially designed to have a fan out of the box but will fit a 120x20mm fan. I've read that you have to wedge it in there but have not done it myself so can't give first-hand help. Sorry
 
I have this case and was able to stick a 120mm fan in the lower chamber. It took some work though. A 25mm thick fan is just a little too thick to fit between the front of the case and the HDD rack. So I took out the dremel and sanded down one side of the fan a little. Now it fits tightly inbetween.

I'd post a pic, but I'm at work right now. Look at the other posts here, some people have done it before me, (I checked these forums before doing it myself). Good luck.

Can you post that pic? I'm looking to put a fan in there and would like to see how it was done.
