Radio Shack sells some great two part epoxy used it on a few jobs on my rig,works great better then super glue. drys in a half hour,fully cured ina few hours hasn't come apart yet.:D :D

you wouldn't happen to know if one could use that epoxy to mount a 92mm fan in mid-rear and lower-front areas of a case, would you? I don't have a dremmel tool and I sure as heck don't have a hole saw or whatever its called. Furthermore, I don't really want to pull out a drill and start hacking away on my case, ya know? I would like to ditch my 2 80mm fans and replace them with 92mm or 120mm fans... If not this epoxy, does anyone have anyidea of what else I could use that will bond/bind plastic and metal? I was thinking of using silicon bath/kitchen caulking as it would also help absorb some vibration and possibly reduce noise, but thats just an idea, but I'm not sure if it will adhere to the metal case (don't go off on me if I'm way off, but it sounded good - just throw some better ideas at me instead of flaming me)

You could do that , but you might be just blowing hot air around- you need to make sure you have good intake to provide cool air.

Surely you must have a drill with a drill bit available to you, or one that you can borrow. You can get the screws in any size/length that you may need. Self tapping screws will bond almost any two materials together cleanly and look good too.

Sorry, i didnt mean drill bit, i meant philips screwdriver bit, sorry.

Yeah, silicone caulking will hold plastic and metal together -be generous when dispensing it. Let it cure properly by making sure the fans rests on the surface when level, otherwise it'll slide off... But personally, I mount my fans using double-sided tape and garden wire -very reliable and easily removable. You can put dabs of silicone to dampen vibration or you could use rubber washers (like the common ones in faucets) if you plan to use screws or studs.
