All of Artic and Fractal's fans that I have used have been excellent, and they are generally well priced.

It would help to mention what you plan to use the fans for.

Little smal german company not much know but BADAS products. Really cheap and moving A LOT of air.

and they look cool

Wing Boost 2 by Alpenfoehn bought by EKL

only 12$

I think they're identical to Deepcool.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Fans perform better or worse depending on how much restriction there may be and whether or not there's already flowing air. Fans are also come in various sizes and noise levels may or may not be relevant. Depending on where the fan is going and what it would be doing, the best suited fan will vary.

Where would the fan be used? Static pressure and airflow both affect performance but one is usually raised at the cost of lowering the other.

Airflow...

That's pretty vague.. Would you be using the fan on something like an open test bench?

Case fans

when you start a thread you gotta be more specific, how many, are you replacing ones you got or you need them to fill the fan mounts on your case, 120mm or 140mm? 20 CAD for each fan or for all of them, if so, again, how many?

I've heard decent things about cougar fans, and you can get them in packs of 4.

I did specify what size I need them to be; 120mm, and why does it matter how many, i'm just looking for a good case fan for under $20 so then I can decide how many of them I want.
