Question Ball Bearing or Sleeve Bearing?

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering, would it be better to buy ball bearing fans or sleeve bearing fans? Are there any differences between the two (Noise, Effectiveness) ?
Thanks, any help is appreciated,
-Joe

Get ball bearing fans...they last much, much longer than sleeve bearing fans.

Sleeve bearing fans start out quieter than ball bearing fans, but once the sleeve wears out they start to make a racket.
