Default Good fans for decent price
Ok so i have looked around i cant find anything that mentions some good fans for decent prices. I was thinking of putting a 120mm blowhole on top of my case and possibly a 100 or 120mm exhaust fan in my 5.25 drive bays. So i was wondering what are some good 120mm fans that are quiet (this is important to the girlfriend as the computer is in our tiny apartment living room) that are recommended by the people of this fine forum.

Yate Loons (from Petra's Tech shop) for cheap but still decent fans. For long lasting quality fans for a decent price, I will second the Scythe S-Flex fans - I have 3 of them and they are great.

Never heard of petras tech shop. Are they reliable and are they in the US?

I only ask because they are on sale for 5 bucks a piece.

Yeah they're not bad, just don't make my mistake and buy one (I got the 1900rpm) for your heatsink thinking "WOW, 110 cfm, that will REALLY cool my Megahalems down". These guys move air, but have NO static pressure to speak of.

They are not bad but I don't recommend them because they can die easily if something is blocking the path. No real static pressure behind them.
