I got this for my Dad's work computer that needed a new case fan. This one did the job (so far) - runs quiet and simple installation. No flashing lights or anything, just your plan vanilla fan. For 10 bucks and my local store had it, I picked it up on a Sunday and his computer will be back to work on Monday.
What's great about it: Cost, convenience, simple and does the job
What's not so great: Not sure yet, probably not most powerful if you need that

I used two of the fans to move warm air upstairs.. I put the two fans in the wall where I have duct work from the basement to the upstairs. I know the fans can move air because when I first installed them drywall dust came out of the opening in the wall. I have had them on continue out for two weeks now. The only problem I had was finding a converter going from 120 volt ac to 12 volt - 650ma dc.

Great 80mm case fan for anyone needing to add more cooling to there system. I've replaced 2 LED lighted fans with these Dynex ones. Leaving the PC on at night was too bright with the LED fans on.

The Gateway computer i bought from Best Buy about two years ago didn't come with a rear exhaust fan for some reason. I left it like this for a while, but then I upgraded my vid card recently and realized temps on the gpu were getting a little high since I did some overclocking. Obviously my case started to get a little warm inside and so I purchased this fan and installed it very quickly ( literally a minute or two), booted it back up and watched my gpu and case temps while playing some games, using ATI Tray Tools and SpeedFan to monitor them. Case temps went down maybe 5-7 degrees to around 30 celsius. Gpu temp went down about 6-8 degrees to around 52 on idle, on load around mid 60's.
Bottom line, the fan works and moves hot air out.
What's great about it: Really moves air, good build
What's not so great: Nothing really, i guess adds just a little more noise, but thats expected

I have an old computer with 70mm fan. I had a hard time finding the exact replacement and bought the bigger fan and adapted it. This fan is quiet, I barely can hear it. The hard drive makes way more noise than the fan. We'll see how long it lasts, so far excellent hardware.

Great product for the price. Easily installs, and ready to run. Required for a much larger project and performed reliably through temperature variations. Would happily procure more if warranted.
