Would these fan work well as intake by the hard drive cage and exhaust out the back?

Yes, they would work just fine. I use two of them for the same purpose and have not had any issues.

The fans can be mounted any way you like. If you mount them on TOP of the unit I would recommend having them Draw the air out instead of trying to keep the hot air blowing back into the unit

that's exactly what I did on mine, mostly because i replaced everything in the case with these and wanted consistency. If the stock fans aren't loud then it might not be worth it. Doubt you'd see much of a difference in cooling performance.

With the proper adapters. It can be done.Would I use this particular fan on a CPU? No.I have a couple of these fans. My opinion. They are good for case use. But I would look for something that moves a bit more air than these to use on a CPU.

Ultimately it depends on the speed you run them at, but these are the high static pressure models not the high air flow models so they are not as loud as those, although even at full throttle neither of them is very loud. These fans are for moving air against pressure; in other words for bringing air into the case.

Also by the way are these fans going to be mounted on a radiator if so get these and if not get the air flow not static pressure.

Yes you should. The radiator should either be in front of an exhausting vent so hot air that comes off it is not trapped in the case. Or arguably using an incoming vent for more immediate cool air. Though you run into the dilemma that you are exhausting hot air in the case. That all said traditional heat sinks do the same thing pass hot case air across the heatsink dumping it into the case. So the point is ideally exhaust it out. If your can't, it still should be an improvement over stock heat sinks.

Honestly do not lknow, however most bathroom exhaust fans are not even rated for 100 cfm...so I would think it would work.

Yes you can set them up as exhaust fans. Just make sure they are pointing outward from your case. I have 3 of them set for exhaust on a 800D case and they work lovely.

Maybe consider a .5 sone bath fan Air King BFQ50 ENERGY STAR® Qualified SNAP-IN Exhaust Fan, 50 CFM

I installed an intake fan since my power supply has a 120mm fan that is providing the exhaust functionality. That setup seems to keep everything pretty cool (<40 C).

You could, might be a little tight if your using the back exhaust route as your cooler position, but you can always use the top of the case to place the cooler and radiator, thats what i did.Check out my channel and you will see my build exactly http://youtu.be/sOA2AqsNFQA

I think It would be far to much for that small space. IMHO!!! But One would probably be okay with a couple good exhaust fans. good Luck!!

Agree with Pbear's response. Love the fans -- I have installed three of them.

Yes this fan should work here is a link which shows your cooling options http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/store/ProductPrint.aspx?C=1014&ID;=1797

Personally, I always prefer using them for exhaust because if you use them as intake you will have more dust in your cabinet and potentially more dust on and in your electronics.

Yes. I use 3 of them as exhaust fans. I believe that the fans blow air in the direction of the label on the front, but all you'll have to do is see which way they blow and screw them in in that direction
