Computer stores have screws designed for fans. You can also use a sheet metal screw or plain old nuts and bolts.

If you want to try and make it a little more quiet you can add rubber gromets to the mouting screws and use silicone in the gap that is now present and this helps quite a bit.

when in a bind, almost anything will work. I have used electrical wire and fishing line with great success.

Cut up mouse pads make good sound deadening washers. 1/8" ones work better than 1/4" ones. If you are asking how to make a hole there are many methods. I prefer a hole saw and a drill, makes a nice round opening.

I forgot to mention zip ties! If your case has a built in grill, you may want to cut it out and substitute a less restrictive wire grill.
