System Exhaust Blower

I built my own with 2 80mm fans and some small strips of metal

I had a problem with one of those exhaust blowers once ages ago.

When it was connected to power supply and fitted under AGP slot, pci slot it gave me too much trouble.

It was short-circuiting my mobo cutting the power out every time i turned it on. Never used it since without any power on problems!

Are you having heat problems or are you considering a little overclocking ? The more the merrier but the more the noisier.

Well I o/c'd my video card and I have an ATA controller 2 slots away from it, but the cables hang over it and a lot of heat gets trapped in between. I figured it would draw some heat away from it.

Concerning the noise issue, it is rated at 26db and runs at 2400rpm according to the specs, which would make it fit under the "quiet PC" category.

Granted, noise ratings are hardly worth basing a decision on, but it proves it isn't THAT noisy. Since it pushes out so much air at such a low RPM, I can only assume it has a "big" noise instead of a "little" noise.. The little ones (I find) are more annoying. Soundwaves generated at lower frequencies are not so easily picked up by the ears.

I've tried these to 2 different machines. They aren't worth the cost of shipping even if they gave them away.

If you're looking for card cooling, these are suppose to be good http://www.thecardcooler.com/shopcart/CardCoolers/CardCoolers.html I've not tried them so do a little research.
