Buying fans

[jb]

Where is a good place to buy Panflow fans or any fan for that matter I went to price watch (http://pricewatch.com) but they have no listing for Panflows atleast . Dot com purchases or retail computer stores , basiclly anywhere I can get them fans for a good deal .

Another quick question I bought a case that came with two fans that only blow like 31cfm I want get the a fan that is stronger , faster and better in every possible way. I don't know how big my current fans are so making an online order now could be a big pain in the !$?.

I want to know if you measure them (like a t.v.) from corner to corner or just directly across the bottom ? I'm not conserned with the thickness of the fans only the perimeter.

Thanks ahead

hey man, i buy all my things usually at www.azzo.com, you can check out their links for fans HERE (http://www.azzo.com/test2/cooling-fans.html). also, fans are measured at their diameter, so measure across from the center, and you got the size...like 120mm, that happens to be the size of a cd, spiffy!!! hope that helped ;-)

bought 5 panaflos at b.g.micro for 7 bucks and i also bought that 12v 235cfm fan for 8 their too ( the things 52 decibles, makes a delta sound almost bearable). also try mpja.com and allelectronics.com

Generally, the larger the power consumption (or larger current (amp) rating at constant voltage) of a fan, the more powerful it is. Fan sizes are of the length of a side (they are square!) and the thickness of a fan. Thicker fans tend to displace more air than thin ones (just look at the 7000+ rpm Deltas or YS Techs). Most fans last at least 2 years. Branded ones tend to be quieter or lasts longer.
