The only issue I see is with the positive/negative/balanced case idea. It worked back in the day when cases were all that nice beige color and had two fans on them, but most modern cases are vented throughout. I could have all the fans on my case blowing in, and still a lot of air going out. This concept is not as important as it used to be. The big interesting thing now is, should I have fan A intaking and fan B exhausting? Thats how you cool things with these modern cases.

One offer of keeping thread updated right here. However I would need help on the newer fans that use magnets/water/magic to reduce friction.

There's no mention of P-Q curves. If you're picking fans out, you should be looking at their P-Q curves. Without them, picking any fan is a shot in the dark.

P & Q: What is the P-Q Curve? How Do You Measure It? One of the key specifications customers are looking at is the static pressure a fan can perform.

I can't believe that no one cought the reference to the Russian Saturn V rocket
Saturn V was the only rocket to have carried men to the Moon.

An excellent guide. all it needs is a buyer's guide and a review of brands

Awesome guide, good read, just needs recommended fans for price, performance and noise and it will be complete.

Yes, n-sanity's ban is unfortunate. A certain individual some may remember named Crash in the days of his ban-zeal got quite carried away. As being a member and contributor at other oc websites was an OFFENCE bannable at ocn, n-sanity was banned for life. Hence the guide has not been updated. I'll still answer any questions you may have however.

Last, if the good folks and the powers that be at ocn decide to n-sanity back in, a post may be made here stating such, and will precede his return. The guide will shortly be updated and upgraded. With university english this time.

EDIT: FYI, Soyuz capsules are still the primary space going vehicle ;P Albeit the tradeoff is the necessity to spend 8 hours in the fetal position while you gently whizz through the atmosphere and then space on your way to the ISS.

How do you know the guide will be 'shortly updated and upgraded with university English?'

Well, if it has not become apparent quite yet, I am n-sanity. Although making duplicate accounts is frowned upon, in my defense i shall state that the reason for my previous ban does not apply anymore and has been removed. The ban however hasn't, although i never really asked.

If this offends any mods, i suppose it is in their full power to ban me again. Martyrdom has a bittersweet taste to it.

Cheers to all if this is to be my last post here.
