XPS 8930, adding a side fan?

Question

I was wondering if anyone has ever attempted to add a side fan to the XPS 8930.  I haven't received mine yet but it looks like there are ventilation openings in the side wall, probably for the GPU to suck some air in.  I wonder if you could mount a fan there, either on the inside or maybe even the outside.

There is almost ZERO room there.&#xa0; There is no front fan. There is no front fan header. Some have changed the CASE to overcome this problem.https://www.dell.com/community/XPS-Desktops/XPS-8930-Case-swap-to-Define-C-Mid/m-p/7285552https://www.dell.com/community/XPS-Desktops/XPS-8930-Case-Swap-CPU-Liquid-Cooler-temps-Upgrade-summa...&#xa0;https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/us/en/19/xps-8930-desktop/xps-8930-service-manual/procedure?gui...This is not a standard fan&#xa0;&#xa0;The heatsink is VERY low profileManuals & documents&#xa0;&#xa0;XPS 8930 Service Manual PDF HTML XPS 8930 Setup and Specifications PDF HTML Regulatory InformationDell XPS 8930, Regulatory Model D24M, Regulatory Type D24M002DELL Regulatory and Environmental Datasheet PDFEUROPEAN UNION - CE Declaration of Conformity PDF&#xa0;
