@a9bc9943 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @1a68afdf low impedance to airflow makes a case silent, because then the fans don't have to spin up quite as hard. this is a fact.
If you need a lot of drives, either get a NAS or give up your pursuit of high-performance computing

Not if the fans are dogshit, with the exception of cooler masters silencio fans, every 120mm I've had coil whine or failed because the barrings are cheap af. 

 @a9bc9943 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @1a68afdf you can try out Arctic's P or F series, they work quite well for the price

I am however afraid my experience with cheap fans is limited, I don't regret spending 40€ per fan to get top quality ones

I think I'll get industrial 3000rpm noctua fans next :smugmegu:​ 

 @a9bc9943 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @1a68afdf I have one, they're not great for silence.

I was considering them for a while, but yeah their high end sound is noticable.
