lastly, if you use a 3pin connecter is it possible to just trim it to 2 pin in order to use it in your PS?

The one above is 21db / 24cfm

Evercool looks good as long as its not "Everflow" (also like to note that its specs for the evercool are probably incorrect, most fan small manufactures, don't have the testing equipment as, Delta, Nidec, Sunon, AddA would)

Depends what kinda powersupply some use different type of connectors, from what ive seen there different terminals, so the housing can't be switched.

hmmms o I would just have to splice the wires to the connector ni the PS??? Is that safe? then just wrap them in electrical tape? That seems like it should be ok..

 

[GiZzO]

Yep thats how i usually do it, use shrink tube instead, tape has a tendacy to unwrap, and if it touches a circut board in there whamo.

Makes sure not too touch anything else in there too...the PS holds a charge, read around on ways to discharge.

There's an even better deal for these same fans over in the Hot Deals forum. Just search for Panaflo.

ok so whats a shrink tube and where do I get one?

 

[anandfan]

Shrink tube is plastic tubing (like a straw) that you put the spliced wires in. When you heat it with a hot air gun (or a match) it shrinks to form a tight fit around the wires. You can get it at Radio Shack and other places.
