Hello all.

New here. Anyway, I'm thinking about modding my Casedge 734A case to get a little more airflow through it. I've already modded the case with a 80mm side blow hole, but I still want to do more. The case comes with 1 80mm low noise fan mounted in the front/bottom. I want to cut a hole or 2 there and put in something that will generate more air flow throughout the case.

Question #1:

If I have 1 120mm fan, and 2 80mm fans. All 3 having the same blade pitch and RPM, which setup will flow more air? The 1 120mm, or the twin 80mm fans?

Question #2:

I hear that Panasonic Panaflow fans are the best case fans you can buy? What's your feelings on this?

Question #3:

What is the best brand/model of case fan for maximum CFM, yet still very quiet?

Question #4:

What is the best online store to buy case fans and accessories from?



Thanks everyone,
Nate

For the 1st whats the CFM for both. 2nd No't have any idea. 3rd for a 120mm I think YS-Tech is the best with 131c.f.m. and only 45db`s. 4th Side Winders (http://www.sidewindercomputers.com)
