Well, i recently picked some of these little black and blue babies up, and i must say im very impressed with them so far......
the cost about £6, are silent when you more than 50cm for your PC, and move a decent amount of air...
i would reccomend them over something like an Akasa Amber.....
i don't think there as good as Yate Loons's though.
I don't know why you would get anything other than Yate Loons if you're going the quiet route... I mean you said so yourself- Yate Loons are cheap, too.
...so I don't really know what your point is.
and also cut fingers :P
looks to me like a yate loon... I mean the fan blades look exactly like it.
coul;dn't find any at the time in the UK....
You might wanna try Nexus fans if you wan't true quiet... Handpicked Yate Loons, ramped down and individually balanced... pure blisssOriginally Posted by tcG

I'll give my input on these as my first post (long time forum lurker).
These are nice substitutes for Yate Loons around Europe. They are rated at 21dB(a) and 50ish CFM, but various reviews (fast googled - german + babelfish) shows they are actually 30dB(a) and around 67ish CFM, which takes me to believe, as Praxis noted, a very similar design to YLs. Similar blades and price. Possibly renamed (or not).
In my specific case, from Portugal, it would be very hard for me to get Yate Loons from the US or any non UE country because of our crappy customs (waiting months for fans? no thanks).
I'm thinking that these would be good to buy for case exhaust/hdd cooling at permanent 5 or 7 volts. Also, they look better than YLs
Yate loons win. Seriously, I'm not sure why anyone would go a different route!
The ~47CFM ones for watercooling, and the ~70CFM ones for air. Can't go wrong!
