btw, how are the evercool fans? i've been looking at maybe getting those
The folks over at Silent PC Review seem to think very highly of them, particularly the aluminum frame models. General concensus is that they are quiet aside from air movement noise at all voltages, comparable to or better than Papst and Panaflo's. They undervolt well, and are reported to move lots of air at low voltages when compared to other fans.

I'm sure there are fans with better air movement ability, but they aren't as quiet, which is the big thing at SPCR.

I'd be a little nervous about them as rad fans as 25mm thick fans generally don't do as well working against a restriction (and a rad is pretty restrictive) as 38mm fans do, all else being equal.
