The screws should come with the fans. At least every fan I bought for a PC
came with the screws needed.

I don't recall the full tower, but the HX-45 mid tower has a plastic snap-out
shroud at the lower front of the case. Remove the shroud. The fan will snap
into the plastic housing without any screws. Once the fan is secure, snap the
plastic housing back into the slots in the inside front of the case.

No, I have this case aswell and it is not one of those cheap dodgy plastic
fan holders - tho it also has one of those. It has room at the top back
above the power supply for 2 fans side by side (behind the extra hard drive
days - total of 7HD bays!), there are pressed holes in the case for vents
and mounting holes. If you decide to put fans in this place, then the fan
should come with screws, or otherwise i imagine that any electronics store
will sell the necessary hardware.

Hope this helps.

Or ask your local computer geeksource. They usually have about a dozen old power supplies laying around. Scavenge the screws from one of these.
