I tried to use a couple of 6" ones for my cooltube (2x400W) and had to return them to the store, didn't hardly do anything.

In the fan world, powerful AND quiet = $$$$$. I found that a good fan is one of the more expensive parts of any setup, but totally worth it in the long run.
yeah I'm leaning away from getting some of these. I completely agree that a good fan is worth the money in the long run, but I'm kinda broke right now, if you know what I mean.
