250mm case fan
- Thread starter Bradan
- Start date
Buy a case with a 250mm fan already in it and install it in the present one. That's an awkward one to locate for the most part. Generally most vendors carry upto the 120mm sized fan while carrying cases with the larger sized fans already installed. Those seem to special ordered and made for custom style cases being sold.

The only case that i know of that uses a 250mm fan is the Thermaltake Armor w/ the 25cm fan.
You can buy just the side panel with the 250mm fan and the plexi glass and everything for like 30 bucks i think off newegg.

if ur talkn about the TT armor 250mm then your mistaken. It does have a cover over it but the holes are large enough where dust can go straight through.
I have had my TT armor (i got the 250mm one) on for nearly 3 weeks now non-stop and i cannot see any dust inside the case. The one place i have seen dust collect is on the front where the dust collector is. I whiped my hand across it the day before yesterday and it had collected alot of dust.

It's near silent and it moves ALOT of air.
Oh really? Apparently you haven't gone to other vendors to see what they have. Take a look at the Aerocool model seen at http://www.xoxide.com/aerocool-extremengine-3t-black.html
The PSI SOLO can be seen at http://www.directron.com/604bs25f.html
On an older 2004 case review you could even get the optional 300mm fan for the Cooler Master Stacker seen at http://www.systemcooling.com/cm_stacker-01.html

There are a number of cases that come with 250mm fans, but nowhere that I know of that sells such fans individually. Pelko's 172x150mm fan is the largest I am aware of. Alternatively, you could purchase a side panel that includes a 250mm fan, remove it, and attach to your own case. Do note that despite the size, the actual airflow provided by this fan is quite low (67.69 CFM compared to 265.1 CFM of the fan I mentioned earlier).
I didn't even bother looking for a 250mm sized fan mounting two 120mm blue led fans on the clear side cover of the case used here. The 140mm and those combined outmatches the single 120mm rear exhaust. Now to get some led strips with flashing leds to spruce things up a little. What a difference from the 48C board temp seen in the old case to the 33C in the new with the 120s.

I knew about aerocools case but i didnt think the fan was 250mm i thought it was a little smaller, my b
The one way you would probably be able to get a 250mm sized fan would be to take down the make and model case with one and request a replacement from the manufacturer to see if you could get one or more that way. When I went through the various vendors for custom styled cases that model turned up with the 250mm fan on it.
In fact I looked it over while deciding on a better case to use here. That can be seen at http://www.xoxide.com/aerocool-aeroengine-2-black.html
