These little 12V square fans are great, for example:
https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/cui-devices/CFM-4020V-145-123/102-5593-ND/7605411
 
Looks like it is meant to mount flat to something, and then use the 4
corner holes to secure it with some bolts.
 
What if I want to mount it vertically? I can't seem to locate any hardware
for this. Am I missing something? Do I have to custom fab something? Mabe
buy something close (brackets) from McMaster-Carr?
 
I'm designing a power supply and want to add a fan to cool things
off...plan to vertical mount the fan and then draw air across the heat
sinks.
 
thanks for any ideas!
