My case didnt come w/ those special plastic screw things that you use to attach fans.

It's the kind that you push in from the outside and it locks in.

i tried to search for it, but i dont know the technical term for it.

anyone know the name for these screws?

No, I don't know the proper name for them. But, a sheetmetal screw will tap into the plastic fan case. Or, maybe a machine screw and nut. Ace hardware has all sorts of fasteners Dude. Give them a try.

could they be called stand off's?

i know they're using to hold mobo's up, but for this too?

are you talking bout regular case fans to install in the front and back?

You just need some self taping case fan screws,
