Default Slimline fans

I bought 2 8'' 'slimline fans' but I tried to fit front mount after fitting these and there no chance, I have found 50mm ones but pretty expensive so wondering if one bigger fan in middle would do job or better with 2? Or does anyone know where to get very slim fans around 50 mm or so cheers in advance
