Here. (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dorothy.bradbury/panaflo.htm) I already have 80mm papst fans and i am impressed with them. How do these much cheaper alternatives compare?

Thanks, Steve.

Dunno, I saw these as well but don't need any more at the moment. I'd like to know how quiet they are though.

it has the CFM and dba ratings nect to the fans, thats all you need to compare them.

Panaflo > Papst ... but then again, I'm biased. ;)

Add build quality when comparing fans, as well as the noise they make and the CFM they push.

Quite a few review sites also review fans, believe it or not. :p

Panaflow are the best

At 12V they are much the same as Papst, but as the voltage is reduced they become quieter than Papst
Also they will start at a lower voltage, only problem is that they are 2 wire, so no rpm monitoring.

I am looking for some M (medium speed) versions, but can not find them anywhere.
