90mm casing fan? I think a bit hard to find.I presume the 1 your holding is a 80mm casing fan?

92mm fan? It's quite common actually.

Fan size shouldn't be too much of a problem because there are no screw holes on the casing anyway.
You'll have to use some zip ties and that gives you the freedom of using any fan size you would like.

Then again, 80 mm to 92 mm case fans should fit that spot nicely.

Yeah, some modification to enable a normal 8cm fan to fit that place prefectly

get a reduction from 80mm to 90mm or 120mm

Actually based on the slots cut around the opening looks like it should have had one of those "purple" fan holders like Chieftec used years ago. So you could be dealing with either a 92mm or a 120mm.

Just an opinion but either way you will need to drill holes to be able to put a fan there unless you have the plastic piece.

EDIT= Actually that is what you are looking at, its the cut outs for one of the old style cheitec case fans that used the plastic fan mounts, I just went and looked and measured one of my old chieftec style cases and they look identical to what you have. So pardon my initial inferance that it was a 92 0r 120mm

It was meant for a 80mm fan but popped into one of the plastic mounts.

Recommendation take the time cut the area out and mount a 92mm or 120mm fan in its place ;P

Normaly 91 mn fans are found on pre-build computers .... But think if you put an 80mn fan with 4 big screws it will fit
