Extremely loud... Someone told me you could levitate a CD with it, I tried it, and it actually did. I would not get without some form of fan control....

I have both of what you have (look at sig). My deltas are the same thing as tornados but with a 3 pin connector instead of a 4 pin. I have them hooked up to a nexus so they don't bother me. The V7+ is no where near 77dba, in fact once I close the side of my case it cuts down the noise a good bit (about 7 dba). If I were you, I would find a good deal on ebay like I did. At $5 a piece I couldn't resist and if you buy from a store they will probably not take them back due to noise.

Not to me. Once you put your side panel on it's only about 35db.

my thoughts exactly, i have a 80mm tornado right now just because i wanted a nexus multipanel. Yes its a bit noisy even at lowest speed but i can bare it and even sleep if i have a pillow in my ears. The best thing about the 92mm tornados is its wideness, so even though they are a bit noisy at low speeds, they will definitely push more air than any other at the same speed

That is very true. My 92 push more air than my 80 sunon fan when it's at around 8v.

If you don't want to spend alot of money on a fan that you might not like due to noise. You may want to check this auction out, it's the same fans I have. You will want to use a 3pin to 4 pin adaptor or use a rheobus.
