OK well after some thought i realized that a sleeved bearing (yate loon) fans would not be the best chioce for my 24/7 server. Looking around the next best thing would be Artic cooling's fans. they use fluid dynamic bearings and are rated for A LOT longer life than sleeve bearing yates.
What i would like to kno is are these fans quiet, im not concerned about airflow, but do they produce weird vibrations, motor noise, or bearing noise?
I would need these fans to completely outfit my server

Re: Arctic cooling fans? Opinions?
I bought a Scythe Ninja from ebay and the guy included an Arctic 12025 fan - he claimed it was better than the included Scythe fan. On the fan label it states '1500' rpm so I'm not sure if there is another edition of this fan that runs at 1000rpm as linked above.
I wasn't impressed with the fan - it's gathering dust.
