I see that www.bestbyte.net is selling them for pretty cheap. So how are Top Motor for case fans? Decent or utter crap? I could really use some advice here.

thanks,
Kent

I think they also go by the name evercool, so if anyone knows about them i think there the same fan. Anyone know of any other cheap decent case fans? Here's the link http://www.bestbyte.net/Product.cfm?ProductID=83&CategoryID=8&Keyword=

I have a couple of the Top Motor 80mm 34cfm fans that I bought from Best Byte about 6 months ago. I think that they are decent cheap fans. Obviously they are not going to move as much air as some of the more expensive fans, but they do a decent job. I have not had any problems with mine.

Same here. Have two of the 80mm 34cfm,30dba case fans. Got them for about $4 each. They do a decent job in my opinion.

They're not bad. Not top of the line, but pretty decent.

Weak in pressure and CFM but they're really quiet

Evercool is who Lian-Li puts in all of their cases FYI

I've bought like five of them (80mm), as they're real cheap and quite! no problems here, they're good enough. Oh, and I also have a small (actually a tiny) northbidge fan by Top Motor. It works great!

I have 3 top motors on my fish tank
and 8 in my water cooling enclosure

They are pretty quiet. The only one I had fail was on that I had dropped into sal****er (while unplugged) (I probably didn't let it dry off enough before using it)

you might want to check ebay too, I got mine there for about $2 each shipped

mine slowed, you could tell it wasnt spinning at top speed, then later that night I smelled a burning electronics smell. It didnt last more than 4 hours Is there something wrong with the words salt water? I see the letters a re **** in my previous post.
