@solanum@tech.lgbt Yeah, the noise level is the biggest downside to the standard design. Fortunately, at least in the US, the cost of a 5-pack of Arctic fans plus the 12v power supply for them only comes out to a $10-20 premium over a typical box fan. So, it's not an exorbitant increase to go for a quieter model. Plus, that's a one-time cost. It doesn't change anything about the replacement filter costs, and the PC fans even use less electricity.
