    I have found a few but they appear to be 200mm, now I'm not sure if that is referring to the overall size of them or the fan mounting holes.

    For example.
    Can somebody tell me what size this fan is?

    My side panel has a 140mm and a 180mm mount

    Ideally I'm after a fan that is 20mm or less in thickness.

    Sorry if this is a bad post/wrong section. Im in a bit of a rush and I'm going away for the weekend shortly.

    Thanks

    The bitfenix spectre 180mm fans are all 20mm in thickness, so the one you linked is indeed 20mm. Other 180mm fans that I think are 20mm thick are the aerocool silent master and the xigmatech xlf. The best place to check is the company's website. Just to check, will a 25mm thick fan not fit as you said there was a 140mm fan mount and they are 25mm thick or is there a blockage preventing a 180x25mm fan?

    So are you saying that this fan will fit on my side panel which has the mounts for a 180mm fan

    It should do! It is a 200mm fan but if you look at the images it suggests that it still fits on a 180mm fan mount, but it is definitely 20mm thick so will fit. Worst case scenario is you may need a few screw holes but it definitely looks like a 180mm fan mount!
