They came out with the Slipstreams (which every time I see someone put on a radiator, I cringe) simultaneously and called them open air fans. Not a gimmick, but some people really don't understand why or when one fan is better than another, so they're trying to direct people toward different fans based on their needs.
    thanks for the reply,
    basically, im looking for two exhaust fans, which will be placed on the roof of the case. i want these to be as effecient as possilbe. ive wasted alot of cash on fans in the past and they just simply dont work well. so this time round i want the best possible exhaust fans .becuase im not a fan expert , the only way i can judge the fans ability to push/pull air is its cfm. noise isnt an issue for me .i relize u recomended some brands there but there just not available in australia. so i have to find other brands.

    edit* ill just add this , the reason i want two lge fans on the roof is ,hot air rises so ill have two fans on the bottom sides blowing air in and two lge on the roof pulling air out. im trying to create airflow from the bottom to the roof. if hot air rises i figured this is the best way . i also will have fans blowing against the cpu and chipset .and thats just on the top level ,theres a bottom level thats sealed of from the top where the rad pump and res will reside.
    its a perspex case i made so i can have square holes cut anywhere and mod it in anyway.
