I use ones you can get from the Warehouse for approx $35, they're in a square container with tiny feet on either side. Works brilliant for my desktop :D

thnks chilling silence! that is exactly what i am after, but just the fan, not the stand. Im a DIY man and i wanted to build the stand myself. you said they sell that in the warehouse for $35? that is a bit too good to be true..or did i misunderstand you?

744652 2009-02-04 03:40:00 Yeah, these are BIG-as fans though, like 30CM+
I'll take a photo of the box tonight, I bought two ...

Unfortunately they require hooking up to mains, but if you're a tinkerer then you might be able to have some fun with USB powering ;)

744656 2009-02-04 18:45:00 LOL that fan is way too thick LOL, right diameter though. :D

I think what I want is not available in the market, so I will have to use our university's CNC machine to make one of those big but thin fans, so I can put it in my laptop stance.

I currently have a wooden one with 4 fans, but I wanted a better looking one. how do I put pictures on? I will take a photo and show you. :D

thnks chilling silence, and everyone who helped. :thumbs:

744658 2009-02-04 23:48:00 It would be INCREDIBLY loud probably, just get the 3 90mm fan ones.

You have that around the wrong way, the bigger they are, the less speed required to move the air, hence less noisey motors....

exactly the point, that is why I wanted big fans :D

744660 2009-02-05 01:03:00 A bigger fan can move the same amount of air as a smaller one, at a slower speed and hence with less noise.

However, if you want more air moved than a smaller fan then you may get an increase in noise
