The Fan Pile
I was rummaging through the junk stuff for another combo...maybe a nidec fan blade on a light blue purty case...
decided to grab a photo.

I just went through my pile last night before reading this.
My pile was mostly various 80mm fans, mostly old Yate-Loon D80SM-12s (3-pin and molex), with a couple GlobalWin NCBs and Scythe's in the mix.
I'll have another D12SM-12 in the pile after the weekend when I upgrade my WHS. I have a PWM Slipstream I'll put in it from my new Mugen (for my gaming machine).

My worst so far has been a 120mm Thermaltake 2,000 RPM LED fan. It has poor airflow sound quality, and resonates very badly at all speeds. It's sitting in my fan pile right now.
My pile is about 2/3 bad or broken fans, and about 1/3 good fans. I'd like to use my blue LED Apevia fan again, but not in place of my excellent NB M12-S2.
