I think that the Vantech ones are the best (quietest), although I don't have any experience with them (I use the eBuyer cheap fans, at about one 10th of the price of one of the vantecs.)

Sanyo Denki fans are good too. Too bad they don't have Pabst fans.

I buy all cooling stuff from www.thecoolingshop.co.uk, They offer free delivery even for just 1 fan, ordered one thursday midday and it arrived friday morning.
For a list of all good UK suppliers see the forum at www.buildyourown.org.uk |

If you can find Panasonic Panflo fans then those are excellent quality and very quiet.

Thanks for your help so far guys.
I was wondering if anyone knew if these were any good and what type of connection they use. http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/...=17223&cat=412 Thanks again |

I've never seen that fan card before and don't know how well it performs, but the power connection is a standard 4 pin molex connector.

'I was wondering if anyone knew if these were any good'
they are only good for cooling a hot AGP card, and there are still better options (Artic cooling VGA silencer). doesn't really cool the case. as for fans, i'd suggest the panaflo fans > http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Panaflo-Fan . if u would prefer to buy from there however, http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/...cat=281&page=1 . papst are way over-priced and not as good as they used to be. |

Try www.quietpc.com. They have a good selection which seem to be of very good quality - maybe you pay a bit more? - and the company is excellent to deal with.

Just another quick question. My case has room for a 92mm fan on the front but only room for a 82mm on the back. Would this be a good idea or would it not help atall
