The fan from Newegg is really good at cooling your computer, but it'll sound like a loud air conditioner.

if you dont care about noise, then get yourself a pair of aerocool x-blaster "heat terminator"s.
those puppies rev at a whopping 4000 RPM and move a very respectable 52.8CFM of air. which is more than any other 80mm fan out there on the market. at least to the best of my knowledge.

be warned though... they're REALLY f***ing loud.

actually i'd say it's time for some case modding, get the sunon 120mm 110cfm 44.5dba and much more cooling power than the 80mm.

i am debating on the delta - http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/de80tfexhisp.html
the sunon with 110 CFM although i cant seem to find a store with it
and maybe this sunon http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811999030
the ffb i cannot find as well. the second delta that Dos suggested is out of stock.
so far case modding looks like a possibility for me becasue i had originally planned to put a 250mm fan to take up the window but i couldnt seem to find it anywhere other than in the aerocool 3T case.

I WANT THAT CASE lol. That reminds me of someone I heard of who modded his case so he had a box fan for a side panel...made his whole system passively cooled and just used the box fan as a huge exhaust. Then one of his friends came over and turned the thing off...the poor computer fried :(

looks like that fan you suggested yogurt will be good for me just have to cut the hole in my window to make it fit.
Thanks for the help guys and ill make a new thread if i ever find a fan that is 25cm. Although i did contact thermaltake and they said that they werent going to bring it out simply because most cases couldnt fit it.
