Strengths: Very Quiet operation, Easy install, Excellent flow.
Summary: The Fan is truly a breeze to install. Is really quiet and pushes alot of circulation either into or out of a compuer. Has droped the temp almost 6 degrees internally in my highly overclocked machine. Very very good product.

Strengths: pushes lots of air, quiet, great name brand, durable plastic, extra parts, very sturdy screws, nice color, inexpensive
Summary: This fan is great. I purchased four, at a great price, to add more cooling to a stock system. I have only installed one so far as an exhaust fan, but it has already dropped by cpu temp by 4 degrees. This was in a system with one intake fan and a top exhaust blowhole fan. By touch this fan shoots out much hotter air than my other exhaust, which is closer to the CPU. Absolutely great in almost every way, and as I add more parts or attempt overclocking I plan to install 2 more. They came with a 3pin psu cable, with an adaptor to a 4pin molex connector and another 3pin connector which allows many fans to use just one 4pin connector. Because of the long cord length, this is no problem.
There are only a few small problems. First, the screws really dig into the hard black plastic, leaving small plastic fragments that must be cleaned out. They require lots of force, so a good screwdriver helps alot. The icing on the cake would have been plastic attachments to use in areas where their screws don't fit well, but that isn't the fan's fault. Overall I'm very happy, and the Antec name screams quality.

Strengths: Quiet fan, works great, has an adapter for 3 to 4 pin
Summary: I bought 2 of these and so far they work great. My case temp has dropped about 5 degrees from 46 to 41 C. Overall I'm happy. The 3 to 4 pin adapter usually costs a couple of bucks so it's nice that its included.
