I gotta tell ya. I'm really impressed with this funky shaped, orange finned case fan.
Model A2330, Silent Wheel Fan, 1400 RPM, 3.6W only makes 16dBA and is 13cm but fits 12cm holes and cost me $8 online.
The existing fans that came with my canopy where nice, high output (I'm guessing 120CFM) but sounded like an aircraft preparing for takeoff (30-40 dBA at least).
These new fans by Thermaltake are half the flow at 54 CFM but only make 16dBA!
You can barely hear the fans run at all. The only drawback is they are not made to fit as push or pull and are really made fit one way. They do make a 'normal' shaped fan but they are not as quiet.
For me they are a huge improvement for my canopy. After I sealed the back of the canopy and installed just one of these to pull air out my temp has dropped 2 deg F. Not sure if I'm going to install the other yet.
