Sounds like a good price BUT
I don't like the idea of getting random sizes for fans

Did you order these? Do you know how much they charge for shipping? This sounds kindof shady to me. I've heard the saying "If it's too good to be true, it probably is" too many times, and this seems too good. There's got to be a catch. Maybe the fans just really suck and that's why they replaced them.

They are server "take offs", and they claim only 48hrs on each fan. You have to order at least three for 3 bucks, their choice in size, then any others are a buck per. Not a bad deal if the shipping isn't outrageous. Unknown variable as to what size and condition of fan you will receive, but for the price you really can't bitch.

Company is legit...Deals seems good, though kinda pig-in-pokey.
Still, if they really are server pulls, they're gonna be high
quality. They may not be very quiet, though. I know the fans
in my Xeon server make an utter racket!

How do you order and how do you know what sizes you are getting? I did a "test" order and i know the first 3 can be any sizes, but what about the additional ones? Do they just start giving you "standard" size fans?

i've ordered tons of these fans. This is probably the best deal around. It all random tho...
My first order i got an even amount of dif sizes(2 60mm, 2 80mm, 4 92mm, 2 120mm). Second i got about the same, now third i got( 2 60mm, 15 92mm, 2 80mm, 1 120mm).

So its all random, on the third order, 10 of the 15 92mm fans were identical.

Not bad, but i wished i had gotten more 80mm fans.


And one more thing, there are also 60mm fans in this deal. And u are not guaranteed to get all 12v fans...i got a couple 24v fans.


ONe more thing, i dealt with the customer service because i had recieved some bad fans, and they were extremely helpful. I would recommend these guys to anyone.

OK, I got my fans, and I have to say it's a very good deal.
I ordered 40 (!!) fans. Shipping was $7 to the East Coast. Here's
the breakdown of what I got:

10 80mm x 1" thick fans.
Mixture of JMC/DaTech Model 0825-12HBT, 12V, 0.35A
NMB Model 3110KL-04W-B57, 12V, 0.30A
(All these are in Dell outer casings)

10 80mm x 5/8" thick fans
JMC/DaTech Model 0815-12HM, 12V, 0.15A

5 120mm x 1" thick fans
NMB Model 3610KL-04W-B66, 12V, 0.65A
Delta Model AFB0912VH, 12V 0.60A
(Some are in Dell outer casings)

15 60mm x 5/8" thick fans
NMB, Model 2406KL-04W-B36, 12V, 0.14A
JMC/DaTech, Model 0615-12MBTL, 12V, 0.12A

So there you have it. Not a bad assortment for $47...Now I just
gotta find a use for them all! :)

The fans took about a week to arrive. They came very well packed.

Hope to hear from others if you get something appreciably different
in your assortment (just out of curiosity).

thought I'd post my results of my little splurge :) got 2 60mm, 2 80mm, and 1 90mm (never seen a 90 mm before but it looks cool with double grills on it). All in all I'd say it was a great haul and thanks Ilas for the deal post since I needed a few fans :)

all mine were three pin fans. They are fairly quiet and move ALOT of air especially those 80mm ones I got.
