    Replacement 180mm fans?

    I did a silly thing when I built my computer.

    I bought a xClio coolbox. With 2x180mm fans attached.

    They both stopped working. I can't see anyway to detach these from the case. Is there anyway of replacing them or is it time for a new case?

    Are there any suggestions for a new case whilst I'm about it? Budget of ~£20-40, but willing to stretch for exceedingly good cases. Exceedingly exceedingly good cases...

    Thanks

    Silly suggestion, sorry

    How about replacing them with 140mm fans - use cable ties to mount them?

    Re: Replacement 180mm fans?

    Having just had another look, it seems that the fans are irreplaceble. As in.. blocked in irreplaceable type things. Without ripping my computer to shreds (literally) and probably cracking all of my plastic fronting and metal sideplates I don't think I can remove them...

    So time for a new case. Suggestions please?

    Thanks
