How do the moveable fans attach to the stand? (Magnets, latches, etc?)

4 little hooks or prongs on the corners of each fan slide into the grid of holes on the metal tray while you hold down a button. Release the button when the fan is flush against the tray, and it locks into place. Very simple and no magnets.

There are prongs on the fans that latch into the holes in the stand. Select placement and release the fan prongs to seat the fans.

They have pins. The one side is moved with a slide. Very easy to move and sturdy.

I haven't done it yet, but it should not be difficult at all. The fans are mounted to a hinged plate that opens. You can completely remove them from the unit. They are plugged into the power supply, not hard wired. So you simply unplug them, release a couple of latches that secure them to the hinged plate and take them out.

They don't attach to anything, they act more as a cinch around the base of the stand. Unfortunately my cover blew away on a windy night on our apartment terrace so I can't recommend it if you have a particularly windy location.

yes they do. I've never had the stand move, except when I pushed it. mine is sitting on carpet, so I can't make any claims about a hard surface.

The full bottom of the stand I have is not open for airflow. Shaped like an X so middle of the bottom of CPU is sitting on a hard surface.

Not that I have been able to figure out. Certainly not easily. I wish I could attach a photo to show the backside of the fan. In the back there are four accessible Philips head screws. There is, however, a 5th made inaccessible by the fold-up base. I cannot see a way to remove the hinged base. Even if you were to remove the base, the wiring from the charging port and battery compartment (in the base) of the fan might be damaged if the blade casing were removed. That said, the blades are thin and I have a total of 3 of these fans, one for over a year. I haven't yet had a real problem with dust buildup on the blades. I'm very happy with mine.

The grill/fan is pre-assembled. You only set up the stand and place grill/fan assembly in its carriage. However this was the case when I bought this item previously.

rig it lol. I have one rigged to the front at the bottom, I bent the metal corners of the black metal screen to hold it.No actual fan slot afaik.I would do intake from the bottom, just use something to screen dust.

The back of the case is open, but I don't see how you would mount fans there. The top of the case swings back, which makes me think mounting anything in that open area would be difficult. There are several open card bays on mine, and I think I have the biggest MB made. You could definitely mount a fan card or two there. I'm running a pretty tweaked system and haven't had any overheating issues.

No it is not. There are two latches on the back, you undo those, it comes apart and you have access to the fans. I would be careful undoing the latches though because they are fragile.

Yeah, I had fans that used a knob on the front of my Antec case. These won't use a knob though, they have a little switch on a wire for changing the speed, I just pull them out to change it, it isn't too hard.

They send the needed screws. They can either be used with the stand or in back with a mount

There are two 80mm fan mounts for the bottom half of the case. They are intended to exhaust air, but you could turn the fans around and draw air in. The fans would point straight at one of the drive bays.

It has been a while since I purchased this fan. I believe that the fan is held on by 4 screws

no the three fan housing and the stand is all one piece the only thing that you need to put on is the base plate ( hope this helps) it is a great fan system and quite

You can't pop the magnets out since the frame itself is the magnet. But there are screw holes in the frame if you wish to screw it onto the chassis.

It's not a problem. They're designed to be mounted that way, as the screen is used as a dust filter. All you need to do is periodically slide the screen out (it's easily removable) and blow the dust off of it. In fact, mounting it this way if possible is even better, as the PSU will take in cool outside air instead of hot air from inside of the case, and exhaust it out the back of the case so the air is completely separate from the rest of your components.
