I used this fan on my antec 920 cooler. I don't use the cooler anymore. Could I use the fan as a outflow fan on the back of my case?
 
No, it's just not allowed.










No, really you can put it anywhere you like :)

How you are going to control it though is another thing. A PWM splitter would be best as I don't find the Apache runs very well at lower voltages, probably due to it's bearing. All my other fans run hapoily down to around 3 or 4v whereas the Apache just stalls and twitches much below 7v.
 
I gonna run it through the mobo fan header. I'm doing a ITX build. It only has 1 header and the front fan will be powered by molex. Even at full speed the fan is very quiet.
