Why the difference prices for several of these model of fans that look similiar? Anyone better?

I stay with Lasko I have 4. I noticed that the lowest priced ones had the highest shipping charges. When the price of the fan and shipping charges are added together the total price difference is not as great. I always ordered the one with next day shipping

Hi Joe, I have bought several of these types of fans at my place of business. I have them on constantly and have had no trouble. Might need to be cleaned after a while of use. The only reason for the price difference i can see is that one fan is a little bigger and throws more air faster at a higher rate . The smaller lasko's work well too but dont move as much air. So your application should be taken into affect. Hope this helps!

Nautilus R514 Recumbant post: Your review is good - and not having seen these two sister products side-by-side, I would definitely say that the Schwinn display looks more updated (color, etc.) while the Nautilus looks bad. You did miss one thing: the R514 has a 'powerful fan.' Now, I like that feature, but I can get the 240 for $399 including tax and shipping. That means that for $150 I get a better warranty and a fan, but many of the reviewers on various sites have said that the fan is, in the words of Charles Barkley, TURRIBLE! So I agree with you, and am going to order the Schwinn. Using an external fan may not be chic, but it probably works better and it's free (top shelf of my hall closet :-)). Thanks for the fine review - well done.

You might try this place but looking at the prices. You might want to buy a new unit.http://www.altex.com/AdvancedSearch.aspx?skey=fans

I agree with Shane K Chavda's answer. The obvious differences between the stock H80i's fans and these fans is that these have rubber-like insulators at the screw mounting points and of course the included accent color rings. Spec-wize I believe they are close if not the same as the stock ones, I replaced my stock fans because one was defective (had a horrific buzzing noise at all RPMs).As Shane K Chavda pointed out, these fans are loud at their max speed and very quiet down in their lower speeds, I set up a custom fan speed curve in the Corsair Link software and let it manage the fan speed vs radiator temp in the background.

they look exactly the same; all are from spec-d tuning, so i would say they are just different prices from the vendors. if you think these are cool without the LED's, go for it, cause i guarantee that within a few months all of the LED's will either be flickering or out altogether, and they are not directly replaceable.

I bought the 54018 and it's been a perfect fan. I can't see the difference between those two models, either. Also I saw that Hunter doesn't sell the 23688 any longer.

Not that big of a difference really... The Hyper 212 EVO is a newer and supposedly improved version, which supposedly has a better 120mm fan and better cooling capabilities altogether.

Agree with Pbear's response. Love the fans -- I have installed three of them.

I believe the difference are the fans. This card works well in my setup. I would recommend buying it.

They all fit a 15.6in display. It's your choice on which size fan you want, the more you pay, the larger the fan, the cooler your laptop will be. I went with the slim and my laptop has stayed really cool.

These are the same ones as the ones on the Corsair site. They're just being sold by third parties, while the Corsair site allows you to buy directly from the manufacturer.

I'll assume the fan is quieter, but in both specs the fan seems to be the same. Old Model (the one I have) is 1700RPM, 29.75 dB(A) with a max airflow of 59.05CFM. This matches the manufactures site specs for the Quiet Edition.

I feel the noctua are slightly louder but cool marginally better. Noctua make the new industrial fans that look good but are expensive.

I don't know. But that noisy fan is the ONLY thing keeping this from being the perfect case. I'm responding with the hope that someone will post a link to a replacement fan.

I checked with another supplier(Amazon has the best price for sure). They list amps for a 1300 at 2.6 amps, a 1600 at 4.5 amps and a 1650 at 2.4 amps. Confusing becasue at higher capacity fan shoud draw more amps. There was no listing for the 1500. I have these 1500 fans and they work well. Whatever amps they draw is worth the savings in cooling cost inside the house. Not really a direct answer, but hope it helps. Advise to check the Ventmatic web site in another answer is good advise.

No it's not. The threads do not align properly and it's a bit too bulky. If you need another 200mm fan. Pull out your existing 200mm fan and find the model number. Buy that one instead.

I just reviewed the pictures and description. Very is confusing! They are showing no less than two different, possibly three, versions of the Antec Three Hundred--I have three models myself. Previously, there was a model that shipped with several fans of which the two front units and the top unit had blue LEDs called the "Antec Three Hundred Illusion." This unit does not appear to ship with the optional fans. You could order Antec Tricool fans if you needed the additional air flow. Note the top fan LEDs are bright and when watching TV, one of them is as bad as a poke in the eye. I pub my wireless AP on top of the case to block it. I just reviewed the pictures and description.
