Commonwealth 120mm fan

Heads up to others looking for cheap 120mm fans, I found this fan. I don't know how good is actually is but the specs look decent on paper (54 CFM @ 25 dBA, sleeve bearings) and it's cheap too.

I'm pretty sure these fans are the same as the EZ fans (model FP-108M-S3) discussed here a couple times in the past, which leaves me questioning the sound rating somewhat since that's rated to run @ 2100 RPM at full voltage. Even so, I ordered some of them to try out.

That's a great deal as well (even cheaper of course

), but 38mm deep fans aren't always practical and it's spec'd louder to start with. Of course it is a Panaflo, so it's probably been used by enough people here for us to have a feel of how quiet it can really be made.

Blimey, those Panaflo's go for Â£10 over here in the UK. I've been trying to search the forum for help choosing the best 120mm fan (a hot topic I assume) that I can get in (or delivered to) the UK for a reasonable price. How do people rate this Panaflo?

Thanks!
