looking at the medium yate's from petra's and then i see now that the egg is selling the newer style xigmatek's for not much more. they seem to have a higher cfm rating as well as a lower db rating? anyone use these yet separatly from the 1283 or the achillies?? everyone seems to give these fans great feedback everywhere and im considering them over the yates due to the lower db rating and that most of the time i read the yates dont really do 60cfm as rated for.. ??

now throw into the mix the zalman zm-f3. from the fan review here on xtreme (part 2) these were said to have performed awesome...

want to keep them under 10$ and the xig's are 8.99... the zalman are 7.99


need to get these asap so what should i go for.. anything better at that price point?? or which is the best of the three....help?
