The amount of positive feedback in this topic has convinced me to get a HD103SJ in the next couple of weeks.

The Slip Streams are Sleeve Bearings and will push next to no CFM when something blocks it path (such has the heat...

Are you guys sure that the Slip Streams are good enough for a PSU? I mean, I have some of these fans and they have a lot of trouble pushing air through anything because of their low static pressure and small blades. I'd recommend a S-Flex before a Slip Stream...
