Curious what some of you guys are doing for say.. 120mm or 140mm fans these days. I know designer fans are all the rage now like the fairly newer Corsair fans that took them 3-4 years to design (Its a fan, really 3-4 years...). I'm using these fans for office machines, not my home/gaming rig. That said, they simply need to be fairly quiet and move enough air to keep i3/i5 systems using integrated graphics.
$12.72 for a 4 pack, that seems decent pricing wise.

I've used these ones I'm pretty sure, just not sure how well they did for reliability, otherwise they seem to get enough good ratings to warrant a little over $3 per fan. Again these will be used for office machines that having failing fans in NZXT cases. For future reference... While I like the NZXT Source 210 Elite for its price and features... the included fans are lucky to make it to 2 years. I've got an office full of them that are going out, a few of which full on seized.
Open to suggestions... is there a better mouse trap?
