80mm fan on my 9600 pro

It is held on by wire ties wrapping around the whole card.

@case mod gallery you can see my 2x5.25" bay dual 80mm intake mod. Not quite as ghetto, but it's just stuffed in the holes. Nothing holding it on. The piece of metal across the top just keeps em together

rubber bands hold the cooler/fan on an old 7500 which holds the WR in AQ3

I don't like to call them Ghetto mods, I like to call them Elite mods because people used their brain to make something themselves.
