petteyG with the money you spend on 4 Noctuas you could get about 12 backs of these and as the crappy sleeve bearings wear out replace them and they'd still last longer. They wont be as silent or even push as much air. but for a case fan they're fin IMO. Plus they look much much better. (Yes I know Noctua came out with nicer looking fans too)

No, actually. A fluid bearing is going to last 3-10 times longer, and the higher the temperature, the better the ratio gets. The better static pressure is a benefit for everything. Then there's the sleeve-bearings-are-vertical-only thing, which doesn't help for top exhaust fans, or fans on third-party GPU coolers. Cheap fans are good for looks, and not much else.

Might not be too bad to have just in case a fan starts to go and you need a spare or two while waiting for a more permanent replacement. I'm sure there are at least a few people that don't want to drop $75-$100 just on fans every time they build a new computer just swapping out the stock case fans. I know I'm one of them

Yeah, they work just fine. If they last 1 year instead of 3... oh well? lol
I have CM fans that have been running for 4 years now and still going. For arguments sake let's say they die tomorrow. 3-10 years? Your suggesting they will last 12-40 years. Not likely. Even if they did. The 12 sets of CM would still last longer. You are right on the static pressure. I'm not recommending these fans for rads or heatsinks. But for case fans, they good enough. You don't need static pressure for case fans. If you do, you need a newer case. Lol

Fans? Fans? Did some one say fans?
why pay for fans when you can find boxes and boxes of them in dumpsters, not even used!

And for our next trick, we'll pretend to be a crappy eBay clone that lacks electronics!

Meh, hate when Newegg does this. Reminds me of mWave when the transitioned away from electronics.

Not that one, though
Better off looking for a used 840 EVO. Probably find a 120GB for ~$75 or a 250GB for $100.

Kingston v300 is about the worst you can get.
I picked up a sandisk ultra II 120GB to enable intel SRT on my desktop for about $52 from amazon about a month ago.
No one should ever buy the kingston drive, better to just keep your eye out for a deal on Crucial M500/mx-100, Samsung EVO, or Sandisk drive. Those three brands produce quality and the crucial and sandisk drives frequently go on sale.
