Default 254mm Fan?

This was probably brought up at one time or another, but...

Is a 254mm fan worth it? Just plop one on the side of your computer case and just let it do its work

You'd be better off buying cold cathode lights to attach to the blades of a ceiling fan above your PC desk. That way when its dark and the fan is running, it looks like a UFO is about to land on you. Now thats "worth it". Party on!

I've used the Comair Rotron 254mm in two of my WC setups. Quite loud at max power, but with a ceiling fan controller or similar, it can be near silent or at a happy medium. I've wondered about bolting it to the side of a mid-tower with a passive heatsink and running it at low speed, it would definitely provide adequate cooling for the whole mobo.

In my next WC rig, I am mounting my big Lytron rad with this fan in a window of the storage closet adjacent to my room so I can get cool outside air and run the fan at medium speed without any noise audible from my room. I'll drill holes in the wall and route the tubing along the wall to my comp. (Don't tell my landlord )
