The key is quiet.
so if you have your heart set on one of those, or an AC fan in general.. I'd reccomend the quietest one. smile.gif

20cfm is no where near enough. I wouldn't even bother with the black one.

My suggestion would be to get either an evercool or two, or go with one or two 120mm fans. In my experience, you really want at least 80cfm.

o wow lol i c

im just going to go with the simple way and get one evercool. do i really need 2 evercools? i don't know y people use 2 no need?

Apparently Evercools aren't as good as a 120mm fan when inside a PJ enclosure, they don't have enough oomph to pull air through the contricted air pathways. From what others have demonstrated here, your PJ will overheat with just one evercool. You'll either need two of them or a good 80cfm 120mm fan instead.

ok thank u very much im going to place an order for 2 evercools
