papst fans are awesome, but Comair-Rotron are just as good and easier to find cuz they're domestic and usually cheaper.....I use 'em in my case for 80x25mm slots but before I had Sunon....ball bearings and high CFM/inH2O ratings on both.

Although they might not be the "best", I've had excellent luck and results with Sunon fans. They are reasonably priced and very dependable too. Last spring I bought my first Panaflow 92mm fan. Been quite please with it so far too.

there are 80mm delta screamer which blow 69CFM, i have seen and heard that there are 120mm versions of those, they will be loud but i recon they blow around 180CFM

those Deltas are bad ass, lemme tell you....my HS/F sounds like a jet engine spooling up to full power. I've only really seen the 60mm ones for sale like I imagine most of you have with the 60x38 size being the most popular. My bro only had one cutout for a case fan in his FULL tower (from 1994, mind you) so out went the grille (w/a dremel tool) and in went the delta 60x38 50CFM......this thing might be loud but man oh man, it's powerful.
