One of the issues with the NAS case is the space required by most 80mm fans (usually 15mm or 25mm thick). This can cause issues with the cabling and installation when using 3.5" disk drives.
In searching, I've found a solution that is only 10mm thick, but still provides 19CFM at 26dBA noise level. It's from Wathai in China and is available on Most Amazon sites. Here's the US Amazon link:
80mm x 5mm case fan
(EDIT - the image on that page says 5VDC, but this is for the 12VDC fan)
If you're not an Amazon fan, Warthai's description is "80mm x 10mm 12V 2Pin DC Cooler Radiator Exhaust Cooling Fan"
