Antec BIGBOY200 200mm Case cooler

Pros: Great fan, nice cooling, and quiet

Cons: does not fit 200mm fan slot on HAFX case

Other Thoughts: even though it did not fit the case I bought it for, I used it in my server and set up another little project so not a complete waste.

Pros: nice replacement

Cons: none

Pros: moves alot of air

Cons: on low speed, quiet
on med speed, begins to rattle
on high speed, rattles ALOT!

Other Thoughts: i'll be returning this and try to find some other brand of fan.
i ordered this to replace an original 200 mm fan in my ANTEC case which was just starting to make noise. but the original fan was much more quiet than the new one.
sad comment on ANTEC Q/A

Pros: Obviously it is a great fan considering it's large size so yes, it moves a lot of air quietly!

Cons: None really except for the Product Info Page being a bit Misleading as far as Compatibility goes!

Other Thoughts: IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS NONSTANDARD CASE FAN MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE ANTEC LINE OF CASES SO ONE SHOULD BE CAREFUL WHEN PURCHACING FANS FOR YOUR MAKE, MODEL, & STYLE OF CASE!

Pros: Moves a lot of air.

Cons: I have done two builds with the Antec 900 using this fan. The fan is loud for a fan this size considering rpm and cfm. Being required to use this fan as a replacement is terrible. Really now - three plastic case tabs with seven screws with fender washers to hold it down?!? And yes it is very much more incompatible than ANY 200mm fan I have ever seen.

Other Thoughts: I would not purchase this fan UNLESS you needed it to replace a stock fan in an Antec Case. The worse design I have ever seen.

Pros: Pushes out the most air in the 200mm range.

Cons: Doesn't fit any 200mm spots. I have tried to install it in my HAF-X and Thermaltake Overseer case to no avail. The screw holes are not spaced correctly. The fan also has extra plastic for no reason.

Other Thoughts: Great fan, if you can get it to fit.

Pros: This thing is a beast, have one at the top of my Antec 900 case and bought another to have as a spare incase it gets discontinued. It moves a ton of air and is VERY quiet, its got 3 speeds, i use it on medium and cant hear it. In fact all 4 of my case fans (this one and 3 120's) are virtually silent on medium.

Cons: It comes in a plain white carboard box, no real packaging. Also the fact that the logo sticker in the center of the fan is off-center drives me insane for some reason, i keep thinking the sticker is sliding off the fan lol.

Pros: This fan really moves the air through my Antec Full Tower and was extremely quiet even on the highest setting. I purchased the case about 2 years ago and the Fan has worked flawlessly until the last month. It is a 3 speed fan which works great for me as the temps in my office change dramatically with the seasons and I can manually change the speed when desired to fit the room conditions.

Cons: About a month ago, the fan started making a clicking sound when running on high. At the same time, the fan will stop spinning when the computer goes into a sleep/hibernate mode and not start back up unless I blow on it or use an air canister to manually get it spinning again or reboot the computer. I am not sure if this is a computer problem with hibernation or a fan problem.

I believe the bearings are going bad in the fan, allowing it to become unbalanced on the highest speed, thus a clicking noise on high that will send you to the loony bin. When on high, the only sound I hear is the clicking of the fan above all else.

Other Thoughts: I will keep this fan until it stops running on high or the bearings give out completely. It has been a great fan and I cannot say enough about the Antec case. This thing is huge, has a ton of room for all my components, including 2 huge video cards, and it moves a ton of air. I owned an Alienware Area 51 that I bought through Dell 4 years ago. I burned out 2 hard drives and 2 video cards because of the heat generated within their claustrophobic-cramped cases. I bought the Antec full tower, placed my components from the Alienware into it, and have NEVER had a single heat problem since.

If you do your research, you can easily find this fan for around 20.00 dollars including shipping. I love NewEgg and I love their return policy and product support so I will buy my replacement fan here and consider the 8.00 dollars extra insurance knowing that I will have zero issues from them if there is a problem.

Pros: Decent performance for the noise created. This replaced an nxzt 200 mm that was pathetic (I had to underclock my 5830s by 200 MHz and they were still at 90 C). It pushes a lot of air, but given the large diameter the velocity is slow, which results in less cooling potential as compared to a 12 cm fan of comparable volumetric throughput.

Cons: None so far.

Pros: It looks good, no one has anything bad to say about it.

Cons: Free shipping and $10.00 off today, I guess I should've been patient. :( LOL whatever.

Other Thoughts: I'm eager to see the performance it contains.
