I don't think you want me to translate the entire review, so perhaps have a look here:

I apologize, I didn't seriously mean for anyone to go to the trouble. I was simply bringing the review/product to peoples attention. I've used babelfish before, but I generally find the results tedious to mull through. Thank you for the link though, I'll be looking through it later this evening.
I just thought the physical design on the fans looked like it had potential, and it's easy to tell they got a decent score... looked like 5.9 out of 6 possible, if my memory is correct.

German c't magazine (issue 15/2009 if I recall correctly) tested them against fans from Scythe, Noctua and NoiseBlocker amongst others and they came out on top (they also had good things to say about the Sharkoon Silent Eagle fans).
EDIT: Here're the fans, they tested (according to this):
Sharkoon Silent Eagle SE 120 mm, Scythe Kama PWM 120mm, Scythe Kama PWM 92mm, Arctic Cooling F9 Pro PWM, Jet Air Engine, Papst 4412 F/2GLL, Papst 3412 N/2GLLE, Listan bequiet! SilentWings USC 120 mm, Listan bequiet! SilentWings USC 92 mm, Sharkoon Silent Eagle SE 80 mm, Listan bequiet! SilentWings USC 80mm, CEMOS Jersey ZYK-801G, CEMOS Jersey ZYK-1201G, Noctua NF-S12B FLX, Blacknoise M12-P, Blacknoise M8-S3HS, Blacknoise M12-S3HS

I doubt that site is very reliable.
It reads like an advertisement, and then there are gems like
Regardless of that, 16 Euros (~$21) for a 120mm case fan? That is simply too much for me. Slipstream 800s are at $9...

which translates roughly (too early for me to worry about style) toDurch spezielle Bauteile und eine neue Motorengeneration soll es weder elektrische noch magnetische Geräusche geben.
Yeah, right.Electrical and magnetic noise are suppresed by using special parts and a new motor generation.

I've no idea where you get that quote from, but I know that c't is probably one of the most reliable IT magazines. And a proper translation of that quote would be:K.Murx wrote:I doubt that site is very reliable.

(I'm German by birth )Due to special parts and a new generation of motors there supposedly is neither electric nor magnectic noise.
I'd love to see some more reviews of the new be quiet! fans, though. Oh, and "over here" (Europe) Scythe fans are much closer to $20 than to $9.
Sorry, I meant the site in the very first post The c't is behind a paywall...
Me too. Err, and actually I fail to see why your translation is bettermbf wrote: (I'm German by birth )

Kewl, two Germans meeting in a Canadian forum. I'm living in Denmark, by the way. As for the original German wording from that review (if it can be called as such), it more questions the validity of the statement than confirming it. At least that's how I read it.K.Murx wrote:Me too. Err, and actually I fail to see why your translation is better
What I usually see here in Denmark (and for that matter also in other European shops) are the Scythe S-FLEX fans and at prices that are closer to the $20 I mentioned (usually about DKK 100, which is approx. $19 right now). Good find, though.K.Murx wrote:O rly?mbf wrote: I'd love to see some more reviews of the new be quiet! fans, though. Oh, and "over here" (Europe) Scythe fans are much closer to $20 than to $9.
