Ya, I've seen fans for cheaper around that price, spec Vortex and Ecoplus (heard to stay away from Ecoplus, noisey/cheap). I just know you pay for what you get these days so if I have to put more money down for a few less decibels I can, obviously I want to save it so I can buy more toys for this awsome hobby. The one thing I thought about is say I went with a 300ish cfm fan with a speed controller, would this not allow greater control and "tuning in" then a 600ish cfm fan like a Hurricane with a controller to of course? I'm just looking for any and everyones' opinions since I don't normally go around and drop $200ish on a fan everyday plus another $200ish accessories like a premade filter (maybe not, still deciding on a DYI filter). So again I give a call out to everyone please share your fan/ventilation experiences.

denots87 Reviewed by denots87 on . Inline Fan Decision Looking for a 6" 400+cfm fan, still undecided about which brand to go with, everything decent seems to be in $200ish range. I've searched but figured a poll would be alot easier to get opinions. I'll be running a speed controller for my 600w hps/mh to dial in perfect airflow and to reduce noise, and will be hung from ceiling mounted bungee cords. The closet system will go glass enclosed hood-> ducting-> fan-> ducting-> filter (unsure about insulated vs non ducting) with passive intakes. So Rating: 5
