The other thing that happened was that the fan controller no longer worked properly, and the fan was much too loud at full speed. I decided to use USB power instead of Firewire (5v instead of 12v) to slow the fan down, but the fan didn't want to spin after that, so I had to use a different fan and redo the mount.
I had to play around with a bit, but I got it to work, mounting the fan to two of the brackets, then using the other two brackets to keep one bracket from sliding around. While I could've properly mounted the fan, I didn't feel like doing any extra drilling, so this was the easier solution. I also used a zip-tie (blue) to secure the cord to the case where the fan controller used to be.
