I'm putting togther a PC (finally), and have measured the distance between the screw holes for the case fans. It is 70mm.

Now, I know fans only come in 60mm and 80mm sizes (and 120mm etc) - so which would it be - 60mm or 80mm?

Fan sizes are measured by the size of the fan blades.

So if from tip to tip it is 80mm, then you will have 70mm from screw hole to screw hole. A little geometry will let you figure it out :D
