Panaflo 80mm L1A available in Europe

Post by SpyderCat » Thu Mar 27, 2003 11:19 am

I'm now the proud owner of 8 Panaflo fans. :D

Through Ebay I found a guy in Canada that sells our beloved Panaflo fans for around $US 10.00 (free shipping)
For Canadian and US citizens it is even cheaper.
From now on nobody can say anymore: "I can't buy Panaflo :( "

You can reach him at: [email protected]
He wants to get paid using PAYPAL.

Regards, Han.

I want to do some experiments, and when you want to compare different solutions it's easier when you have plenty resources.
For me, this modding isn't about money anymore.
I want to experiment, and find solutions.
It has become an addiction, as already I can't hear my PC anymore when there is the slightest noise from other sources. At night I can still hear it, and perhaps the Panafloos can take care of that too.

I've got 7 panaflos in my case right now, all running 5V. I can't see why 8 is so unrealistic.

1 in the PSU
1 in the 5.25" bays feeding the PSU cool outside air
1 over the CPU
1 exhaust
1 over the video card
2 intake

When they're all running at 5 volts you can't hear them and you need a little extra air flow.

That coupled with some decoupled hard drives and the only time I can hear my system is when the house is completely silent, and then it is only the whir of the IBM drives.

Nope its not unrealistic at all. A lot forget you automatically take up 3 or more fans for the CPU, PSU & graphics which is pretty standard nowadays.

Sounds a lot but then they do add up very quickly!

I have 4 running:

PSU
CPU/Extract combined
Gfx
Barracuda

And should really be 5: My second HDD (IBM Deskstar) isn't fan cooled but it is mainly idle so stays at 34c...

If I was really tight I guess I could remove the Barracuda one and let it go from 32c to 40c-something but I'd rather it lasts a bit longer... And if I could fit the Zalman heatpipe on my Gfx (which I can't - ATI Radeon 8500) then I would have just 2. The problem is those last 2 are the noisiest part anyway so....

Its really not *that* expensive to ship fans from the US.

If you were buying say 3 or 4 80mm fans its usually no more than $9 or so shipping... but it quickly becomes more expensive.

I've been shopping on a site that would ship international orders(the cheap sites won't accept international orders !), and my shoppingcart contained a heatsink, some fans, and other small stuff. All in all about $US 85 worth. Then I tried to check out. It turned out that shipping added another $US 82.
That's when I backed out of the deal.
