Can the D8000 accept Panaflo 120mm fans?

I was wondering what type of 120mm fans the D8000 can accept. Will regular panaflo 120mm fans work?

They will fit but won't fit into the standard (crappy) purple plastic mounts. You have to pull off the mounts and drill a set of four mounting holes for the fan. In the front there is very little clearance between the HDD cage and the case wall to mount a 38mm thick Panaflo. They seem to just squeeze into some cases but won't quiet make it into others.

Papst will fit without modification. Any 120mm fan with a depth of 25mm will fit. Its the thick ones that are a problem.

Papst and NMB will fit without hassle.
