Pros: Wonderful looking addition to my case

Cons: No tachometer
Does not include screws for mounting the bezel
Loudest fan in the case

Other Thoughts: Although my cons seem to out weigh my pros, the style a custom fan such as this one brings to a computer is immense. Because of its volume I used it for a baseline db check and spun up the four other case fans and the RAM cooler so they were moving as fast as possible without being audible over the 250mm fan. Still louder than I would like.

However, installation was painless and used nothing other than tin snips and a round metal file. (A personal note, the very tools my father used when pursuing his hobby many years ago of modding car bodies.) While waiting for your fan to arrive, go pick up some #4 x 3/8" pan head metal screws. You will need four of them, and possibly washers, to mount the bezel securely. This size screw fits perfectly without binding or bottoming out and is readily available.

Despite its minor deficiencies, if your goal is a slick looking case mod that is likewise functional, I can certainly recommend this fan.
