good fan for enlight 7237 case

[Motero]

Just wondering what size fan is supposed to go in the back of the enlight 7237 case...Also, what is a good quiet fan to put back there.

It's made for 80mm fans and some of the quiet ones on the market are the PC Power & Cooling "Silencer," the Panaflo L1A, the Adda low-rpm 80mm fan, and the Enermax thermally-controlled fan. You can find them at
www.pcpowercooling.com for the Silencer
www.plycon.com for the Enermax and Panaflo L1A
www.2cooltek.com for the Panaflo L1A
www.caseetc.com for the Panaflo L1A
www.phamcomputer.com for the Adda
www.newegg.com for the Enermax

Having had at least one of each, I think the Enermax is nifty with its thermal-probe-on-a-wire setup, and it runs nice and quiet. Plycon also has the Enermax model with a manual adjuster-on-a-wire setup (if you don't mind that it's sort of Barbie-color).

The stock metal grillework on the Enlight is quite easy to nip out with an ordinary diagonal cutter, so why not buy a chromed grille and improve looks and airflow at the same time? Don't forget to buy a couple fan screws too.

I have two fans for my enlight case and I'm wondering should i put the stronger one as the exhuast or as the intake in the front?

Use the stronger fan as exhaust- this exploits the side vent holes better, and just gives better all around performance. The front fan is near useless without mods to the front plastic bezel, leaving it out often has no noticeable effect....

mechBgon is dead right about the rear grille, IMHO. The fact that it's so easy to remove might be the 7237's best feature.

If you need a good fan which pushes a decent amount of air and isn't excessively noisy, I highly recommend the 42.5cfm 80mm Sunon. You should be able to get them at www.millisec.com or www.2cooltek.com
