Need recomendations for cheap and quiet 80cm fan for cocktail cab

<< < (3/4) > >>

Green Giant:
A linear 100k, 10k, or 1k pot should be fine.  The more turns it has the more accurately you can control the speed.  The pot is much cheaper than a fan controller and does the same thing.

Its going to make some heat so I drilled 1 1/2" holes all around the bottom recessed pedestal base (eight on each side) and drilled six 3" holes in various places to suck in and push out some air (similar to Whammocade's fan placement). :laugh:

The thing is that my CPU fan is allready loud and my monitor makes a very slight hmmm and I can just imagine adding six fans to this. Does anybody know of a cheap 80cm case fan that is quite, cheap and maybe has a led on it? {I have looked around and seen some but I know nothing about the NOISE FACTOR of these things.} Also, I have noticed that they all have different bearings. Do these things fail or something?
 
Any advice such as type, brand, or where to get them would be great! :cheers:

80 centimeters? You're going to mod an oscillating floor fan or maybe a ceiling fan?  ;D

Actually, I second the posters who direct you to SPCR's recommended fan section.

rackoon:
So I can just daisy chain the six fans together and put the pot before the fans on the lead?

Yo greengiant whats the 100K 10k and 1k mean?  :dunno

torez:
Put a big fan on the bottom to suck air in (not too low, so you don't create a vacuum cleaner  :P).  The holes in the higher part of the cocktail table will let warm/hot air out, as hot air rises.  It will keep you warm in winter.  :laugh2:

if not too late and you can make the hole bigger, here's 120mm quite fan.  I use them in all my pc and they are super quite and give about the same cfm as speedy 80mm.

Only only 3.99 each right now too...

As for 80mm quite fan, Panaflo are one of the quietest one if you can still fine them.
