Compare it to the power supply fan...
If it's the same, that's likely 80mm if it's bigger, that's likely 120mm
Lord Garth Inscribed thus:
I would also ask the question "Do I really need a fan" ! An awful lot of the time you do but not necessarally at the rear of the case. The PSU fan is very good at extracting heat from the top of the case. Its the hot spots that you should target with an additional fan !

Try to find a ball bearing fan as opposed to a sleeve bearing. These will run quiet for longer. Nidec makes good fans.
