What silent fans are good and how many would i need to keep a Antec P180 or and akasa eclipse really cool ?

3 120mm fans for the P180, 2 for the Eclipse (3 if you have the extra side panel)

Coolink, Accoustifan, akasa ambers are all very good but I prefer aerocool turbine 1000 fans if you can find them. 1000 RPM, 38-40 CFM and about the same noise level as Nexus fans while being cheaper.

Hi
In my Eclipse I got an Akasa Amber at the front and one at the back.
My AMD3700 is sitting at 31 degrees idle (19 degrees in my computer room :eek:

). Thats with another Amber on my XP120 heatsink.

I am not sure but I think the P180 has room for a lot more fans. Sure an owner will be along soon to confirm/deny.

nexus are rebranded Yate Loon fans, which are normally cheaper than the ambers and similar fans
