Fitting a fan in a case?

[romeodakins]

I'm gonna get a new heatsink and use my old one to remove the fan and use it for the front. My case can only fit 120mm on the front I think, I think my old heatsink fan is 80mm, can I just put it on the front and use some tape to make it stay?

Better than using tape I think is to use zip-ties, through the fan mount, through the case fan holes, bound tight, I'd be a little more comfortable with that personally.

Thanks! I got some spare zip ties I'll use those.
