    Panaflo vs Sunon?

    What do you guys think of Sunon fans? How does their quality match up to Panaflos? Also a question for Cooler Master Stacker owners. Can a 120mm x 38mm fan fit safely on the rear of the case and not be too much of an obstruction? The default fan on the rear of the case is a 120mm x 25mm.
