Fans....where to buy, for adding one to my case

[wreed]

Where can I find quality fans to have mounted in my case? Also once I mount it, how can I hook it up?

Go to 2CoolTek. they are cheap, have a wide slection, and are very helpful. If you get a fan with a 3-pin connector it will plug onto the motherboard. A four-pin fan hooks into one of your power supply connectors.

you can do the etize thingor diddy bop into any compusa,they sell antec fans for about what you will pay in fan+shipping.Four wire is what you need,with the molex connector,which is how the comp fans come.

I like Panaflos at Case Etc

Quiet yet powerful

with fans -

Cheap = noisy
Pricey = quiet

You make the call, for purchase try anyone of the cooling sites:

2Cool
CoolCases
PhamComputer
PlyCon
Inflowdirect
CaseEtc

There's lots more, but those are my favorties.

Cheap = noisy
Pricey = quiet???

you are not absolutely right.

cheap is not always noisy, noisy is depend on the cfm of the fan
if the cheap fan doesn't have high cfm how can it produce loud noise??

i got mine 50cfm ADDA and that is loud and expensive

so your statement is wrong.

ROFL, you are so right. What I meant to say was as a general rule those cheap fans tend to be more noisy. Thanks for pointing that out

Bigger, slower = quieter

120mm is the way to go! Don't say that you don't have room in your case; hang on the outside! Sheet metal surgery, only 2nd in life's pleasures to sticking metal together with electricity. You can call me MIG-man!
