I'm struggling to keep my rig cool enough to run all 4 gpu's, due to its current location a box fan is out of the question so what about these?? I think they are the UK equivelent of the sycthe fans that you guys rave about all the time. Any good or not? Its the only way i can see of getting my 8800gt cool enough to actually fold.

Justa had an idea - what about 4 of these in a 2x2 setup - should be enough to cool everything right??
 
Those are good fans, though they'll be a bit noisy due to the high speed.

Ageed. They move a lot of air, but are not the quietest things. You may want to put them on a controller and crank them up as high as you can stand.
 
Nathan: I just bought three of those from NewEgg ($9 ea. with free shipping) to use as intake fans on my dual hex setup. The noise isn't actually all that bad, no whine noise to them at all.. just the sound of lots of air being moved and it's very tolerable. I'm very pleased.

Cheers guys. Given that the rig has a total of 9 fans including a very loud stock AMD cooler i think that i can cope with the noise. However i do have a couple of fan controllers if needed
