Alright, so I bought 3 fans and installed one intake at the bottom, one exhaust at the top but I cant put my front intake in? The top exhaust fan is blocked by the ram slots so I couldn't use the actual holes that the screw was suppose to go through. I was wondering if you guys think the fan is too close and should be removed?

Now the problem with the front fan, it seems as if the screws aren't the right size. I must be blind if i'm putting it in the wrong place. I tried using the screw alone to see if it would go through but didn't, just scratched up the case. If you look at the pic it's kind of obvious where i'm trying to put it. I think theres 2 slots for 2 120mm fans. Also, I wouldn't be able to install the screw through the back because its blocked off. So i'm forced to do it from the front of the fan and the screw is far from long enough.

This picture shows it pretty good, I guess i'm putting it in the wrong spot. Do you see the part on each side that sticks out? At the  bottom and in front of the harddrive? thats where im trying to put it.

Also tried looking at the front panel, doesnt really have a spot for a fan though so I dont think thats where I have to pop it in.

Thanks for the help peeps, sorry for being such a no00ob.

With all the details you gave me I was able to get some at the hardware store that worked perfect. I didn't even pay for them lol, the guy saw I only wanted 2 screws so he said "Just take them". Fan is installed, thanks for all your help bro. Much appreciated!

This is just another example of why I like this website so much. There are people working to solve others problems without looking for any kind of monetary gain. Keep up the great work folks, as I am sure this is precisely what Logan was hoping for when he developed this site.
