(If you have never done it, take a nice 120x38mm high CFM/Pressure fan and lay it blowing down on your desk, then plug it in and play some air hockey )
Thats my point exactly so is that y i should stick with those typhoons for the best pressure. I was reading that those are the best for the pressure and the low dba!
