Wow that 220 CFM fan look's nice. I'd love to try it. I've never been to worried bout loudness. I'd rather have a cool running pc.

ive known a few people who have used them... overkill if you ask me

And as loud as New York in your room...

Yeah I bet they are loud. But still would be cool to give'em a try! I mean if you really had cooling problem's, An wanted a cheaper way of helping cool, This could work.

65DBA though would get annoying....I guess you can use speedfan to regulate the RPM a bit but still ****..

33 dba isn't really loud at all....

yes it is.

sound levels are logarithmic. 33dba is actually 10^12 times louder than 21dba

I have 3 120mm 30dba fan's in my computer running, they are quiet.

The only time I can even notice them is in a completely quiet room, which they aren't annoying in the least, I just can hear them.

Unless you wan't a completely silent computer or 3dba more is an incredible difference 33dba should be plenty quiet for just about anyone except someone who wants a silent PC.
