How do you go about stealthing fan mounts? I've seen one guide that says to use long screws but they didn't say what kind of screw. Can anyone help out?
 
Can you explain that a little more, or maybe post of a pic of one you've seen?

I think I know what you mean, as I've hidden the screws on my HTPC fans, but I'm not sure it's what you are looking for.
 
Never mind I figured out how what to use.
I had meant hiding the heads of the screws by gluing them to the interior of the case. I just figured to use nuts and bolts for it.
 
That's what I did with my HTPC. I screwed the screws into the fans, but left the heads about 2" out. That kep the screws at just the right spacing to be glued onto the plastic.

I did this for my daughter's case. I cut off the bolt head and threaded the remainder into a nut. This serves two purposes: 1) it gives the bolt a flat surface while the JB Weld dried and 2) when you torque the nuts down to hold the fan, you are putting pressure against the nut and not the glue joint
