case fans
Although the computer in my signature is really new, I think the crappy $4 Antec case fans I got are starting to give out, cause they are making more and more noise. I don't think they are ball bearing fans, although I'm not sure. I leave my computer on for about 4 days at a time, with only about 8 hours off in between. Does anyone recommend any type of good, long-lasting case fan (80mm)?

Well I put the Vantec Stealth fans in my dads PC. They're great and very quiet. Then in my PC I have the Panaflo FBA08A24L1A which are nice and quiet as well. Out of these two, It would be a coin toss. I'd go with which one was cheaper at the moment.

Basically, any ball bearing fan will easily outlast a sleeve bearing fan (which is what those $4 Antec fans are). For quiet running fans, go with the ones Jeradln82 mentioned. Other good ball bearing fans are Sunon, YSTech, Enermax, Zalman, Pabst, NMB, Top Motor, ADDA and Delta.
