Cabinet Cooling

[Tomthedrum]

Hi guys 

I recently built a Server cabinet and I nie have to cool it now. The case is an old Flightcase so it it closed in the backside. I need some Fans (AC or DC?) which are 140mm and  quiet and move a lot of air ( cheap Fans pls )

If you are going to run the fans off of the server's PSU, you are going to want to DC fans. In fact, if you are looking at fans branded for computer use, you will only see DC fans.

Also a real fan recommendation needs a little bit more information. Are you worried/care about noise at all? Do you need straight up airflow or something with decent pressure too?

Tons of people make great 140mm fans, and there is a literal ton of cheap options. The corsair AF fans are a decent price:performance ratio, although they can tend to be kind of loud. Noctua's fans are all around great and better than the corsair AF line, but a tad expensive normally. There are cheap fans like the newegg branded Rosewill stuff that isn't particularly great, but they work and are cheap. I think NZXT makes dirt cheap fans too, just don't expect a ton from them.

I dont really care about noise (but I dont want a turbine in my PC ) and I only need airflow and pressure and the should be quite cheap

In that case I would literally just go to newegg, search for 140mm fans and just grab whatever from a decently reputable dealer that are cheap. Something like a Rosewill (Newegg's store brand), NZXT, maybe fractal design (although those might be a bit more). If you watch for sales/rebates the Corsair AF series might be cheap enough for you too.

Brans like Noctua, BeQuite, NoiseBlocker, EK Vardar, would all be significantly better fans in both higher airflow amount and lower noise generation, but they are going to be 2-3x the cost of a cheap brand fan, and since you don't really care about noise, no use in paying for silence. Just grab whatever you find in your budget.

Heck if there is a used computer shop around you, check with them. They probably have stacks of no-name fans you can grab from them for next to nothing.

You probably haven't noticed that the OP is located in Germany so newegg isn't going to provide the best prices.
