Do you really need a rad box to mount a 2 fan rad to the back of your case?

[ColonelCain]

Or can you just hard mount it with some rubber spacers? Trying to look to save some money. (I know, only 20 bucks, but I need to save every cent possible.... i'm having some job problems arise :( , but before this happened I told a person here on the forum that I'd buy their old w/c stuff).

If so, anybody with pics?

[jabski]

Or use 1-2 old fan frames.

Some bolts or threaded studding with washers and nuts

This seems the most feasable, as I unfortunatly don't have the means to fabricate brackets.
So, just put a nut on the inside of the case, push a bolt through, put a nut on the very outside of the case (and tighten), and then mount that to the rad?

Get 4 bolts about 2-3 inches long, 7/32 in size iirc (not 100% sure), some nuts and lock washers and mount it that way. put some rubber between the bolts and the nuts to reduce vibrations and call it good. $5> and looks way better than a radbox.

some standoffs and thumb screws works for me.

Wait, would that support the partial weight of a small cat?:rofl: No, seriously. My cat likes to lounge on-top of my case, looking out of the window. I'm pretty sure that he would put his 2 front feet on it, and stand there.

Two guides to using bolt and strap standoffs for you, my friend

Eurh, furballs in your rad fins.
