Cocktail Fan question
divemaster127:
Happ sells some arcade fans(4.69" square x 1.5" deep) , these are die cast metal & they are a little high but i used 2 of them blowing out the top of my cab since heats rises...
below are the specs i could not imagine 8 fans that would sound like a dc3 taking off
thanks

--- Code: ---I highly recommend Thermaltake fans - I have some, and am very satisfied. I replaced all my fans in my pc last year, and not only does it run cooler, it is now silent.
For an extra dollar, you might want to check this one out:

so if I go with 7 of those and 1 120mm I should be ok. I just want to make sure I have enough cooling and I would like it to be some what quite.
How do you mount them if you want them to blow in the other direction, looks like they only mount on one side??
Or I could use 7 of these http://www.casecooler.com/80vanstealfa.html

Yeah - those will only mount in one direction. Those Vantecs would probably work better for you, and at 21db, will be nice and quiet.

Those sound good, if you have the room for them - since this is a cocktail. Awesome airflow, but I wonder what the actual db noise rating is?
squirrellydw:
yeah, I like the airflow also, but what is the noise?? 32 is the highest I wanna go. right now I am going with the Vantecs unless someone else has something else.
thanks guys, I am going to get 7 of these and 1 120mm vantec since the pano is out of stock
