Making a tower fan out of 40 case fans?

[willfreund]

For christmas im thinking of making a tower fan useing 40mm case fans in the format of 2 columns , 32 rows In order to make a cheap alternative to a real tower fan.
Wouldnt this make something that is better than a real tower fan in cooling power?
Please let me know before I buy this wholesale lot

you mean like double stick tape the fans on top of each other kinda like:

I would say no because 40mm fans are friggen loud, and move like 20cfm. It would be better if you got 120mm fans like the Evercool aluminum and stacked them. At full blast, I can feel one of these fans from over 6 feet away. If you can afford all the zalman fan mates so you can adjust voltage to the fans accordingly...

Am i on the same page as you?
