Help please

Hi, I sent you two e-mails and I've had no reply, so I thought I'd post the details on here:

Hi, according to your website the Antec 80mm Quiet Fans are out of stock, please could you tell me when these will be in stock.

Also, I am looking at purchasing an Antec SX 1030-B case, are the fans include the same as the above mentioned ones, or are they, as stated on some websites, a less reliable version?? If they are I would be looking to by this case and four of the above fans before the end of the week. If not, I will only require two fans.

Alright, I got a reply this morning, thankyou very much!

I just bought a SX1030-B from Kustom yesterday (thats when it was delivered) and the fans in the case are of the highest quality, and not 2nd rate as mentioned elsewhere.

They are good fans, but as Kustom have confirmed, they are sleeve bearing type so wear out quicker than ball bearing type.

I am still using Sleeve bearing fans from 4 years ago in the Antec I got this week, alongside the supplied fans!!!! They haven't stopped for longer than a few hours in the 4 years that they have been in use!!!! :) :)

depends a lot on the environment they are in, but sleeve bearing can often last as long or even longer than ball bearing fans.

Sorry for the delay in answering your mail, we are getting a huge number of enquiries just now, and it's really difficult to keep on top of it all !

Graeme,

Thanks for the replies, I haven't bought anything yet and I'm really happy with the service!!

I should order my case at the beginning of next week and the fans as soon as they come in stock.

Thanks

Andi
