Greetings folks :)

I've run into a slight problem after installing an Antec Kuhler 620 cooler in my Cooler Master Elite 430 case where I can no longer mount a standard sized 120mm case fan to the top rearmost spot, because the radiator is too tall and makes the space too tight to fit one there..

Has anyone out there happened to ever come across "low profile" 120mm case fans anywhere, by any chance? I've looked around a little bit, but haven't been able to find one yet. I'd really like it if I could find one w/ blue LED's to match the other fans in the case, but I know the chances of that are even more slim. I'm thinking it would need to be about half the thickness of a standard 120mm fan in order to work.

Thanks so much in advance! :)

Performance-PCs categorizes their fans based on diameter and thickness. That'll give you a tiny glimpse at a few options. But Performance-PCs will also bend you over a barrel on shipping.

Their selection of 12/15mm thick 120mm fans:

Perfect! Way to save the day :) Order placed. Wasn't as bad as I was thinking it would be. $9.99 for the fan + $3.74 shipping by First Class mail. I actually rather like the sound of these. They apparently have an on/off switch on them & a 3 year warranty. We'll see how well they perform once it gets in. If I like the first one, I might actually order a couple more.

Can't thank you enough for your help, CMadki4 :) If there was a +rep button, I'd be clicking it right now :D Really appreciate it.
