What 120mm fan should I buy?

VenomIreland

I'd prefer something quiet, black/red (LED's are OK as long as it's red and not slightly pink red) and cheap.

Free shipping would be nice as it's not something large so I'd prefer Komplett, any recommendations?

VenomIreland

ok, I found this: http://www.elara.ie/products/detailsfull.asp?productcode=EQPXRW120R

Is it any good?

Not sure about those, I think they're low-speed, low-airflow fans. You can usually get them for a shade past €2 on HWVS! :eek:

Check this out

Probably more like ~€7 a pop when you figure in shipping but these are upper-mid-range fans, not Akasa/Xilence/Jeantech ****e!

VenomIreland

Wow, I like how that site even shows how much air the fan pushes!

This seems to be better value though and still rather quiet:

Dunno, half the warranty and not sure about the noise (its rated for 15dB at 500rpm! ) plus no reviews. But Nexus is a decent brand IIRC. Then again, so is Arctic (those €5 fans use FDB bearings, not conventional ones )...

There is a faster version also

VenomIreland

2K RPM is fast enough, thank you both

Well, it's quieter, so I'll take them all into consideration.

I like the idea of a fan being quieter when the extra cooling is not needed.

VenomIreland

Me too

I don't need the fansm but I'd like them for some strange reason, it's either that or CCFL's

These are excellent fans. I know you can get them here, some place, but that'll be your job. Performs extremely well as a rad/HSF fan, though probably a bit of a waste of money if you're only using them as case fans.
