H50 into Antec 300

[scotty365]

Mine just arrived today - was looking to fix it to the top fan on my Antec 300 but the fans too big for a straight fit (the fan screws are too far apart on the case). Ideally I want it to be in push pull, exhausting out of the case.

Has anyone managed to do a tidy job of this before?

I used the rear 120mm fan mount and have it exhausting air out of the case, Temps are good. I also used a pair of xilence fans which help quite a bit.. I also have xilence fans in all the 120mm mounts with the top front fan clear of drives so plenty of airflow.. The top fan i run at low setting and its a 140mm so will not fit the H50..

Looking good, I assume its venting out of the case?
I'm going to mod the back plate a little so I can manage the cables a little better my ATX supply wire runs under the graphics card and down the side of the cpu socket atm!, so I'm going to cut some smallish holes for cables and also at the back of the cpu socket so I can leave the mobo in situ if I need to adjust or change the cooling.

I really want to use the top fan but I need to make some sort of bracket to get it right.
