#8-32 seems to be stock, but M4-7 will work in a pinch. Keep in mind that you'll need to have a spacer between the fan and chassis in the front or you'll likely run into interference from the chassis screws. Usually I just use 10-32 or 1/4-20 nuts for this purpose, but I'm sure there are other options.
For sure it is METRIC...not inches...
Bitmain ships with SAE #8-32 screws installed, at least in the bunch I have here. I'm not sure why you say "for sure it is METRIC"?
