Went to PC World yesterday on recce to reduce the noise of me veg cab and saw 6cm Akasa silent fans at 97p so got all 5 (for light on intake and under CFL lamp) and then saw the 22cm one down from £15 to £9.97 so grabbed one.

At the checkout girl ringed them all up at 97p - bonus! So I went in today to see if this had been sorted - no, so got another.

They push 95cfm very very quietly... and you can twist off the 5 blue LED's off no probs. Powered on 12v muliti adapter fine.

Dunno if this is going to be at all stores - but though somebody might like this info

220mm !?!?!? in a pc i've got 2 120mm ones for intake , didn't know they made bigger . using 80mm ones stacked for extract cos the big ones won't pull strongly enough

Never heard of 220mm fans. Even in absolutely huge beast servers, they all have high power 120mm.

If you want a high power 120mm look for the scythe slipstream fans, do over 110cfm. I used them with a 400w HPS for a while just fine... now upgraded to a 6-ruck and rhino but those fans worked well.

Still a cracking deal on the fans though - not a bad brand, either.

Just goes to show that shitholes like PC World have *some* use - raid them when they have their sales on.
