    I used my scanner. Here is a scanned image of one of those fans. The connector connects to a standard motherboard fan header but only to 2 pins.







    Edit: Supper was good.

    but again, not for the faint hearted when it comes to noise

    next = thermaltake smart case fan II @ about 75 CFM
    and slightly quieter than the tornado

    thats AFAIK, maybe theres some others up there with em
    also AFAIK, when you get to the "stealth" or "silent" fans...
    youre gonna get about 1/3 of the air flow of the SCF II & tornado...
    maybe half, not sure, unless you go 120 mm

    I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
    I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
    I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.

    Those Fonsan fans look to have the same blade shape as the Aerocool fans. I wonder if one makes them for the other.

    You don't get supper with the Aerocool fans.

    Delta is a huge company. I would suspect that those Aerocool fans are made by them.

    Mr. Mulder...
    If you have the option (or the ability to make it so), a bigger fan will outperform a small one any day.
    For any given CFM the bigger fan will spin slower, thus quieter.

    I would highly recommend you investigate the possibility of using at least 92mm fans...120's would be optimal.

    Thanks, can any case take a larger fan or do you need screw holes in specific spacing?

    the case has to be made to support that size fan...
    so if the case has no 120mm fan holes you will need to drill them and cut the grill out as well (easy to just make a circle with a wholesaw then attach a store boguht grill, or use no grill at all).

    If anyone’s interested, I went with the Panaflo 120mm and it really is quiet, can’t comment on temperatures right now, but it is quite silent, even with a side panel off

    Nexus Real Silent Case Fans are THE quietest fans with good airflow, bar none. Panaflo is almost as good, but cheaper. Go with whichever you can afford. I have 3 Panaflo's in my case and they are completly inaudible. My ambient temp is 26C, all air cooling. A more comprehensive guide to silent case fans can be found here.
