I was going to order one of these:
NOCTUA NF-P14-FLX 140MM SSO BEARING ULTRA LOW NOISE FAN - eBay (item 170538381364 end time Dec-08-10 21:52:21 PST)
but ran into problems with eBay processing my order properly. Maybe that is good, because it forced me to focus on the item photos, which display the accessories. This is a 140mm fan, that is supposed to adapt to a 120mm hole. The little extension arms would be to reach the extra distance from the case holes and the mounting holes on the fan. It would seem that these clips would be flat against the case, and where they reach the mounting holes would be solid case metal. Thus the rubber mounting pads would have no place to fit. I suppose that one could drill new holes, but then there would be no need for the mounting clips in the first place...what am I missing?
