If anyone wants any LMK Im going to be clearing out a very large server room shortly and I'm gonna pretty much grab em all, I hit paydirt when I saw em. I know many of you have been searching for these for years as have I, Hell I was so desperate last year I paid $50 for two of em.
 
got a price? I might be interested in 3.

anyone have dimensions on these? I might have an issue with thickness.
 
um i'll reserve2 to 4 of them depending on yoru asking price pm me to let me know :).

When I get them they will be in the proper forum, If you notice Im not selling them in this section, just letting others know they will soon be available. To the rest of you yes they are 120mm. I think they should be standard 38mm If Im not mistaken, look over MNPCTech worklog for project excalibur for more info on the fans themselver. Should be on the first page.

120x38mm is right; specs on the ones I received> FBH-12G12L, are rated at .2a, 1700RPM @ 32dba and 68CFM ... :)

I don't think the dba rating is correct. Specs on these should be virtually the same as their plastic L1A? counterparts if I remember correctly, there was some thermal heat tests done with them and various radiators a few years back.

yeah, Bill Adams did those tests, I believe they are still up at overclockers.com...

as far as the dba, I think it depends on the bearings used, and I can't remember if those use the hydro bearing or not?
 
count me in for two or three, depends on the price. any idea on how much they will be selling for?
 
Price will depend on how many I'll have to work with (I want to keep a few around for future mods) I might put one up on eBay and depending on the price it ends at I'll price mine to match that. By the way I went back and there were a few Harolds brand aluminum fans, basically just like the panaflo's but instead of an X shape holding the fan its like a turbine shape, I do not know its specs I will try and find out however.
 
Keep us posted as to when they become available... I want a few for a project I am working on.
 
Just what I'm looking for!!! I'll take 3 of them. PM me when you get ready to sell.
 
so that you can avoid another huge deal about the image...



that's hosted by imageshack..... ;)


oh- and if you can do the same price for me that you paid a couple years back, i'll take two of them.

hell if you wanna pay $100 for two fans I won't stop you, I was going to sell them cheaper though.

Give him a "special" price. That way you can sell me "my" 3 fans for next to nothing!!! :D
 
well, actually, you paid 50 for two right? that's what you said. that's what i would like to pay. 50 for two.
 
many people complain about the price. You can buy a benz or a honda its all about what you really want and how much your willing to pay. I honestly don't feel a case is worth $150, a $20 case will still hold your motherboard and drives no? But somehow Lian Li, Thermaltake, Silverstone e.t.c. are still in business. So if you don't think it's worth it then its not worth it to you. NEXT!

Since they are obsolete, that's the best info you will find.

You don't have to try to justify your price to me. I don't plan on spending $40+ for a device that moves air, so it is nothing but wasted typing.
 
Then please do not threadcrap. To the above guy who wants specs there are the H versions. Same fans but with a higher RPM\CFM rating basically if it would be throttled back down to 1700 RPM your specs would be correct, these are ~2700rpm and I recall the CFM rating to be in the 160 range the closest match to the current generation I could find was the H1A and its specs are 2750 RPM and 114 CFM.

oops when I said I paid $50 for two I meant each. Don't worry though I won't make them super pricey but they won't go for nothing. Hell I started with over 50 now Im down to about a dozen. This is without mentioning a price, people just made offers and I accepted em. One guy offered me $100 if I could overnight him 2 fans!!!! needless to say he got two fans the next day with complementary screws, grills and grommets. I even tailed them for him. Then he asked me how much I wanted for all that extra stuff, I was like nothing its enough!
