Project: Lian-Li P80 & PA140.3

[aka_GK]

well, I assume that the build quality of Noiseblockers is better than Yate Loons I got (casing is really well done, silencers and mounts too) and probably have better MTBF than Yates, but there are 3 things:
1. Noiseblockers PK-3 are not quieter (at least I can't notice anything with ear)
2. Noiseblockers PK-3 do not work with Koolance TMS-200. I mean none of 4 I got, so that's not a defect of a single fan. Was the main reason for me.
3. Price. $5.95 vs $24.99. 4 times less

Also I noticed that these PK-3s have strange low frequency vibration if they are not perfecty vertical or blowing downside. Again, all 4 fans have it.

I don't see the point in paying 4 times more (ok, two times more: YL fan + silencer = $12) just for a good case. Plain matte black yates are good too.
