I purchased two of these fans for a recent computer I built and installed them into an Ultra X-blaster case. The fans are a bit louder than the OEM fans in my old Dell desktop but the airflow is much better. The lead wires to the fans are are pretty long and were easy to connect. My only complaint (from a first time builder) is the fans did not have an arrow on the cage indicating the air flow direction...you just have to plug them in to determine which way to mount them.

The case fan failed in a white box computer I bought a few years ago. I bought this one after measuring the failed one. It installed in a few minutes and has been working silently for over 1 year now.

Fits perfectly in my Antec Nine Hundred two Gaming enclosure, connects perfectly to my Berkeley moboard, and keeps both of us cool.

Here are the specs for the Antec PRO 120mm DBB Case Fan:
Ball bearing design
Volumetric airflow: 79 CFM
Fan speed: 2,000 rpm
Acoustic noise 29.8 dBA

Basically, this fan moves more air (CFM) than stock CPU case fans and at a higher speed (normally 1,000 rpm is average) but the noise is nearly twice as high (normal case fans are around 16-19db). So you'll get noticeable cooling performance but at the cost of noisier operation.

I bought this fan in order to replace an dying fan in my desktop. So far the fan works pretty well albeit it does run a bit loud but that might be because I replaced the dying fan with two others.
