are "Top Motor" fans any good?

[eLiu]

Are they?

I can get some pretty cheap ones here

they cost like 1/3 as much as a panaflo, and the noise generated is only like 2DB more (for comparable CFM levels)

If they're not that great...any sites that sell better fans? (at a still cheaper price)

I have 5 of them. 😀

2 of them, sleeve type, low RPM are standard Antec SX830 & 1030 fans. I got 3 more MediumRPM ballbearing types, they work great. oh, I bought at the same place as what you had. 😉

 

[eLiu]

great!

what exactly is medium rpm?? and how loud? I know they're like upper 20's to lower 30's in db's...but is it acceptable noise level?

I intend to get 3...2 for my case, 1 for my hsf...all of the 32/34 db models

would that get loud?

Wow, I may have to pick up some of these if no one has problems with em. 😀

Wow that site also has ASII for $7, a MS Intellimouse Optical for $28 and I think they offer $5 flatrate shipping. 😀

 

[eLiu]

yea...that $5 shipping...brought a smile to my face too 😀

first time ive seen that in a LONG time lol

 

[Apple]

Thanks for this post. I knew I had seen ASII for cheaper somewhere, apparently it was here. Not to mention I just saved about $25. 🙂

 

[eLiu]

glad I could help Apple 😉
