I need some good aftermarket fans for my Enlight 7237 case. Right now I have one in the front that came with the case and it sucks. I want to replace it and add another in the rear. What would be a good place to buy them from and what kinds are good? Thanks!

I have about 10-12 fans that all came from spare power suppies and other misc electronics. Keep your eyes open and there's no reason to spend good money (or ANY money) on fans.

thanks Psycho-holic Slag!
This is my first pc, so no extra fans OuTpaTienT. Although it's a good idea.

n/p - it appears 3dfx cool has the best if you're looking for 80mm, but i had already ordered one from another site. $11.25 after s/h, which is considerably better than the $20 i see around here for fans w/no info on rpm, decibals, or cfm.

That's what I do. I take out the fans off of old power supplies. For instance I had a old IBM 286 and it had a huge power supply, so I took out the fan and it turned out to be a powerful 120mm fan. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
OuTpaTienT is right. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif Keep those eyes open, http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

How do I know which size fits my case? Also I want to get a fan and heatsink for my GeForceMX, what size do I get?

That case uses standard 80mm fans for both locations. Here is my favorite fan, there extreamly quiet.

There are others there, but that ought to cover it. Shipped free helps a bunch.
