He speaks the truth. Panaflos are nice, with modest airflow and low noise. Sunons offer better airflow but ith more noise. I prefer Panaflos for all my case fans however. They are very high quality parts.

YS TECH also makes a 120 mm fan that pushes 131 cmf. and teh panaflow and sunons are only like 103. im guessing this is considerably louder then the other 2?

ok now tyhat i know what fans are the good ones i have a queston. i plan on puttin 1 in the side and 1 top blowhole. and im wounderin is it better to have the side one blowin in and the top blowin out or have the top pullin in good air and the side blowin out. or bothe in or both out?
I already have a 120mm pabas blowin in from the front and a 80mm blowin out the back and a 80 mm side blowin in above the CPU. it came with my case. it might come out when i put the 120 in dont know yet. im just wounderin what the best way to place them to get the most efficient cooling.

also i plan on cuttingthese with one of thoes round saws but do they make them big enuff for a 120 mm fan? is so i use one thats a little smaller then 120 right? if they dont have them that big what other then a dremel can i use? i dont have a dremel
