Yeah that will really be a good deal if you wanna buy 10 of them.

Limited quantity. 90 or so left... save more with local pickup (san jose, ca)

Any other 120mm quiet fan deals?

I got mine here. They are as quiet as I could ask for. Number in stock is updated every day and they've got plenty!

What a strange name. I thought he was referring to some rare bird or something.
Or is the fan named after a bird because it moves a lot of air?

I think you read it the wrong way..if your ordering 10 of them...they cost 5.99 each...just assuming you didn't know

How would the Yate Loons compare to Panaflos?

SVC has them for $9-10

I do.. That's how you get AS5 @ 0.50$ a gram.

What are people selling them for now? 10$? 15$?

These Yate Loon's are sleeve bearings so they're a lot quieter. They also don't move as much air as the Panaflo's and those 38mm Panaflo's will deal with back pressure a lot better. YL's aren't the best fan in the world to use against a radiator or anything like that due to back pressure, but for how much air they move at their sound level they're golden.

Also, a lot of people seem to be turned off by sleeve bearings. Honestly in a 92mm or 120mm fan these bearings will last a long time. Yes they fail pretty fast in those little chipset fans but those little monsters run 4,000-8,000 RPM on average. These Yate Loons spin around 1200RPM at full tilt. I have 5 of the D12SM-12 in my rig and at 5v they spin around 850RPM. That's nothing to worry about for the life span of a sleeve bearing.

Nexus = Yate Loon, correct?

78 left, hope they are still there on friday so I can order 4 of them.

Hmmm, I may pick some up for my new system, these would probably work well in a Antec P180... Now I need to find me a good fan controller
