Fan adapter options

hey duudes ordered my new case http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-047-AE bit tech said cooling poor but they didnt user all 12x120mm fans. plus i got it for £35 sp bargin more cash for betetr cooling(i like coloured fans), and better gfx, but anyway.
x2 120mm fans come with case
x1 I think its a generic 120 or 140 mm fan from my old custom case
x3 Aerocool RS12 Carbon Fiber Black Edition Fan - 120mm[will be buying today]http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...ktdetailseite&emcs2=CA-047-AE&emcs3=FG-005-AE

and my problem occurs here i want to use my x3 80mm generic fans that im using know with old case, as they are there but case only takes 120mmm fans, there are adaptors, i know this may seem ovbious but even though the adapters say to fit a 120mm on a 80mm space, can i do the reverse as its just holes??

Probably but why? You can buy fans for same price or less, and be quieter with better airflow.

true but i dont like wasteing somthing that is useable, i like to recycle

Recycling is great.. if you don't need to buy something that costs as much or more than a replacement that will perform much better. New fans will use less power and have more airflow.

It's something we call "efficiency"... and "common sense"

"Recycle" by cutting some good cardboard into 120x120mm squares with 80mm hole in middle. Mount your 80mm fans to the 80mm hole and mount that 120mm square assembly to case's 120mm fan mounting holes with screws and nuts.

Or you could really get into "recycling" and use a cardboard box for your case. Just cut holes for fans and tape them in place.
