My dell has a proprietary fan assembly that houses a 92mm fan and attaches to the case. It amplified the noise of the fan motor terribly, so I took the fan out and rather than drilling holes to attach the fan by itself I used industrial velcro (blue peel strip) to do it and at the same time dampen the vibration noise.
Fan Holes in case:
Hard side of velcro to the case:
Soft side of velcro to the fan corners and sides (never mind the yellow tape
) :
The industrial velcro holds the fan extremely well and the adhesive has the gripping power of duct tape:
