i shoulda known easy installation wouldnt be there...

my problem... the xp-90 and its retention brackets + the panaflo's closed hole design...

so i grabbed my camera, my pliers, and my dremmel, and did a masacre on the panaflo

all i can say is at least it fits the 90's retention brackets the way i want.

and it sounds alot quieter full speed with the fan controller when that mesh grill is on

Nice. My 120mm Delta tri-blade had to be modded to fit onto my xp-120.
