These fans any good?

I already have 4 of them because they were $1.50 each. They are still in the packages and I was wondering how they are compared to other fans with the same stats. thanks

LED fans are obnoxious... but for $1.50 each I'd buy them and snip the LEDs off. What exactly are you asking about? Besides the stats, there's not much that's important. Longevity is the only other concern I can think of, but it doesn't even say what brand they are so who knows.

They're ball-bearing fans, so they should last a decent while.

I bought some $1 fans off NewEgg and hoped I'd luck out. I didn't -- I now have a bunch of extra sleeve-bearing fans.

They don't last as long, but mine seem to do just as well as my ball-bearing fans, so far.

I got seven of these: http://store.yahoo.com/svcompucycle/powcool8031.html

Not bad for $1.49 each plus shipping. They are ball bearing too.
