I hotglued the axels to the fins, it's fast and easy. Each axel has a bend in it towards the back of the fin, this gives the axel extra leverage and better area for the glue to hold fast.

Two cuts made and the tools used. Hacksaw was still looking fairly straight at this point.

MicroATX motherboard means a full tower case can in fact be cramped. Look at all that wasted space.
