    wondering if anybody has idea's on what is the best 120mm fan for its price.
    i've seen silenx, panaflo, acoustic etc but they cost way 2 much for a fan.

    silenX @ £18:
    14dba/11dba
    58cfm/40cfm

    acoustic @ £19:
    34dba
    66.7cfm.

    theres a thermaltake fan which i like the look of and costing only £5, it has colour leds, and also the noise and cfm is much better than the silenX & acoustic.

    thermaltake @ £5:
    21dba
    78cfm.

    thanks

    The listed specs are almost never completely accurate, but yeah, you can't really lose with the ThermalTake fan for £5. If it is noisier than the 21dBa it claims, run it at 7volts and it'll still push lots of air.
