Hey guys.

I've got a couple of Akasa Amber 120mm fans here I want to put in to my Antec Sonata II Piano case.

Okay first thing.. is it possible to remove the Antec 120mm fan from the back of the case? It's fastened in with rubber screws, and I can see no possible way for them to come out.....

Secondly.. how the hell do I fasten a fan in to the case!? With the Akasa fans you get 4 screws, great, only the screws don't fit on the mounting holes in my case, and even if they did the mounts are just round holes, not meant for screws. The screws also don't go in to the fan mounts themselves either, again they are just round holes.

Am I just being really really stupid here?
 
Well I dunno what they are, I've given them a pretty hard tug but they won't come out although I could pull even harder.

They look like these, only they aren't as long... they seem to be missing the long slender bit at the end..

I have a set of 4 of the rubber things... I have to pull the whole thing through the mount holes, not just the long bit at the end? :o

Problem is I've got two fans to install but only 4 rubber screws. Will the ones I am going to pull out of the default Antec fan be okay to use again, despite being much smaller than those normal ones?
 
At random times it'll make a clicky kind of noise and I have no idea what causes it. :D Reason enough for me to remove it, and seeing as I've ended up with 2 Ambers, I might as well have em both in.
 
Hey mate.

Thanks but I've got it now, put one of them on to the hard drive rack using the rubber screws, works great as you say.. :cool:

Still can't get the standard fan off, it's hard to get a good grip for a start.. and even if I do get the two out near my side of the case, I dunno how I am going to get round to the other side.. :confused:
