Aspire Case Question

[amdfan25]

I have one of those Aspire/Apevia X-Dreamer II cases as a spare and I wanted to add some fans to the front for a new build. Trouble is, I'm unable /too lazy to try and remove the front panel so I could add a fan (no $$ for a new case). So question is can i just zip tie a fan into the screw holes?

The front should come off really easy, there are 4 screws in the interior that have to be removed, and then just squeeze the pop outs and the front should come right off. I would not ziptie as there is the whole vibration thing to contend with.

But yeah, you CAN zip tie anything.

Thanks for the advice. The only problem is Im having a hard time trying to squeeze the plastic standoffs. The only reason for the zip tie is I wanted a 92mm fan for more airflow but there are only standard 80mm holes in the front.

Use a pair of standard pliers to squeeze the popouts (as they were called).
