Question about fan noise

[Grendel99]

Currently I have an SX830 w/ 4 Panaflo L1A's (21 dba, 24 cfm) and another L1A on my Alpha PAL8045. I was thinking of putting a higher speed fan on my Alpha, like a Panaflo M1A (32 dba, 39 cfm) or a Sunon fan with the same ratings. I am having a real hard time finding the Panaflo 80mm M1A, so if anyone knows where you can get one, let me know I was wondering how much louder would my case become? I certainly can notice it now (just typing nothing else) but when I play games etc I can't tell it's there.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. Any other places to find the 80mm M1A? Still need help on my other questions.

Thanks

$9.23 shipping for an (overpriced) $11.00, 80mm fan???? I don't think so!

Dang that is pretty expensive. But I just remembered, the H1A is the fan with 32dba, 39cfm. I was looking for the M1A too, so thanks

Anyways, how much louder would my case be if I added a 32dba fan in it?
