Where/ what is this fan? Isn't that the top fan?

ah they dont sell them on the Oc but do you have a budget? and any preference to sound?

Well I'd like it to be as quiet as possible but still useful obviously. I dont know anything about fans tbh. £10-15 seems reasonable for a fan right? :S

What about a dust filter for those? would it be necassary ya think?

not really because its not hard and not much hassle to clean the side panel inside and out so yah know

Mak3R · 26 May 2009 at 22:06

Maybe I'm too lazy to clean!

I just put a Coolermaster one with blue leds in my 1200. Its quite low RPM (<1200rpm) and so its practically inaudible, although it doesn't move a lot of air, but better than nothing
