'Bout to bit the bullet.

Reading fan reviews is a crap shoot, so I believe im going to bite the bullet and purchase 3 120mm medium yate loons and 1 140mm medium yate loon for my antec 300 and kaze master fan controller.

Just seeing if anyone has any opinions on these real quick or can suggest a better alternative for silent yet affordable case fans.

Yate Loons are great. Make sure you buy them from Petra's.

Definitely keep that in mind. Other e-tailers have sold fake Yate's before.

I think it was Xoxide that had fake fans.
I've also heard of JabTech selling a mix of fake and real Yate Loons.
