Question on fans, 2nd question on antec plus case

[sumrtym]

Has anyone used the Sunon KD1208PTB4 fan for your case? It's rated at 25 CFM @ 23 dBa. I've heard it's a bit better than the panaflo 1la and other options. Can anybody confirm??? Also, would this be suitable enough for cooling on a P4 using an Alpha 8492 (which can use any 80x25 mm fan)? I'm not planning on overclocking at all, but the computer will be in a desk (front door open when on).

Secondly, the Antec plus1080 case. I know the rep that posts here was going to see if we could get a different front on the case offered for those that don't want a door. To me, not only is the door a problem from auto-eject cds, etc, but it also is hinged on the left. I don't konw about you, but I'm right-handed and that's naturally where I locate the case. This way, the door is in my way reaching in. I know you can take the door off, but then you ruin the finished look of the case. Anyway, does anyone know of any progress in this regard?

Thanks!!!

RE: The Sunon fan vs the Panaflo... it has a bit higher airflow and of course is louder. As for cooling, I would have to recommend the PTB2 series fans at a minimum. At only 32 decibels you get 39cfm of airflow. With the fan internal to your case the noise is not noticeable.

Somebody else has to answer the Antec issue...

panaflo specs: 24 cfm 21 dba

I don't know if that extra cubic foot will make a difference =|

Unfortunately, I can't answer your case question...

However, I can recommend the Enermax thermo-controlled fans. They run quiet on my case the majority of the time, only kick into gear when they need to do extra cooling.

Here's a 1030 without a door. Here's the same case w/o a PSU for $55. Scroll down to where it says "ATX-601AR".
