There, I fixed it for you!

In all seriousness, though, another excellent review, Vapor. Many thanks again!

I do have a question about the San Ace fans, though.

While the only one consistently tested is the 109R1212H1011, have you ever come across any of either the 25mm thick San Ace fans, shown by the first number after the speed designator (the "1" after the "H" in your tested fan designates a 38mm fan....a "4" in its place would designate a 25mm fan), or slower speed San Aces, like a 109R1212M1011 or 109R1212F1011?

Then there are the 109P series of fans, which the "P" designates a different plastics frame. I don't know what the major difference between the "R" and "P" fans are, but according to Sanyo Denki's info, it's supposedly just a plastic frame designation, although all the "P" fans are 25mm thick and all the "R" fans are 38mm thick.

The part numbers I'd be interested in would be the 109R1212F102(1021)....a 38mm thick, 90cfm fan with 37dBA noise, or the 109R1212M102(1021)....another 38mm thick fan rated at 78cfm @ 32dBA.


There are a couple of 25mm fans I'd be curious if anyone's tried, too......the 109P1212F402(4021) rated at 70cfm @ 35dBA or the 109P1212M402(4021) rated at 59cfm @ 29dBA and how those two would test out against the S-Flex and YL's of similar specs.

Just curious....as the other fans are found in greater numbers than the lusted after fan that is never found anywhere......
