I have a BitFenix Prodigy and bought two BeQuiet 120mm Fans to install on the front of the case. I removed the stock BitFenix fan and replaced it succesfully with the BeQuiet fan but can't understand where the second fan goes. I've read the specs on their website and it specifically says that you can fit two 120mm fans on the front of the case. For the love of god I can't seem to find the correct position because there isn't one. Anyone who has already done this or knows something more please offer your insight.

Thanks in advance.

I believe that you cannot do it if you have an optical drive installed. At least, that was my experience.

I don't have an optical drive installed however the holes for the upper two screws of the fan appear to be missing since the fan is 120 mm but there is only space to screw in the two bottom holes.

It's been a while, but look if maybe the installed fan can't move lower and then the top fan will have holes?

The fans should sit flush against each other as they would if they were mounted on a radiator.
On this image you can see that the top two mounting points are on the removable 5.25" panel. If you have removed this element, this is most likely your problem.
There are also mounting holes for a single 140/200/230mm fan so these might be a better option for you if you really need the airflow.

Hey again sorry for the interruption but would you know where to get a replacement for the front panel drive bay cover? It appears I've removed it and lost it somewhere.
