i need a case fan from CM.

Out of many i have come down to two:

Cooler Master 120mm fan 90 CFM Green (R4-L2R-20CGF-GP)
Current (Ampere) : 0.35A ± 10%
Speed (R.P.M.) : 2000 RPM
Air Flow (CFM) : 90 CFM
Air pressure (mmH2O) : 3.04 mm H2O
Fan Noise Level (dB-A) : 19 dBA
Bearing Type : Long Life Sleeve
Fan Life Expectancy : 50,000 hrs
&
XTRA FLO
Speed (R.P.M.) : 800 - 2200 R.P.M ± 10%(PWM)
Air Flow (CFM) : 34.02 – 93.74 CFM ± 10%
Air pressure (mmH2O) : 0.43 – 3.30 mmH20
Noise : 15 - 38 dBA
Bearing Type : DynaLoopTM Bearing
Fan Life Expectancy : 40,000 hours

Everything regarding xtraflo is good except the life Expectancy.

10,000 hrs is more than a year. which one to get? (kassh xtraflo comes in green)

i don't think there is much difference in specs the chages r only cosmetic btw the XF looks cool in idle also the difference between two is 100-150 bucks my vote goes to the 1st one green will look more cool when in operation

also u won't use them more than 3 yrs would u

thanks. u have just told my mind's word.
so i have thought of taking both. green will be front intake and xtraflow for top exhaust in my cabb 310 elite which has already been modded with a blue light in the floor.

Will do for sure. But you know 310 needs be modded for attaching the top exhaust. any idea how to cut the ceiling in circular shape without buying a dremel?

Not in Primeabgb, ITWARE. SMC INT, DELTAPAGE, not even in EBAY. MD COMPUTER is messing up XTRAFLO with BLADEMASTER, NOT IN VEDANT. NOT IN NEWEGG, lynx is showing it but don't know in stock or not.It is written there:
If Its " Out Of Stock " We Can Get This Even On Case To Case Basis
What does this mean? and i also do not want to buy anything from them for their bad reviews.

I have also written a mail to the CM EASTERN HEAD regarding stock availability. no answer.

Any other site you know where i can try?
