I found this review of the 1900 rpm version. As with any fan there seems to be some good and bad. The cfm is on the low side IMO so they're probably only useful as case fans.

I've seen the opposite also where they crushed SP120s and GTs. Then you see a bad review. Fan and heatsink reviews are all over the place

True. Still I'd like to see real CFM numbers to see if it has the push or pull for rads.

My problem is that I am making money right now off of tons of contracts I have but I will be too busy to spend it anytime soon. I just got home as a matter of fact and after I do a few reports I am going to get some sleep.

Haven't taken a full day off in going on 3 weeks which isn't bad but it won't end anytime soon. My guys did 4 jobs today for a few different banks and they just sent me 6 more work orders. Yesterday we did 5 and they sent us 7 more last night.

Errbody is losing their homes right now it seems like.

Nah...I have never been a remodel contractor or one to work for the general public. F that shite.

It's why I build spec houses then sell them or what I am doing now is managing repo houses for banks while they are in different stages of conveyance. It's good money because banks pay more than market rate for stuff just to have a reliable and competent contractor do them and I don't have to deal with dumbass people not liking their paint color 6 months after you do a job and expecting you to repaint it for free.

It looks like you and my dad are in the same business, except my dad works with real estate companies and rental properties (turns, evictions, etc). I get stuck with doing all the trashouts

Yea but sometimes you find some good shite in those houses or at least I have.

Plus, $20-$30 per cubic yard adds up quick. I sent two laborers to do one Saturday and they hauled off 40 yards. After dump fees and paying them I cleared over $500 while riding around checking on other jobs



ETA: I could probably hook your dad up with more work than he could handle. I have over 50 jobs in the pipeline and more are added everyday. That's just two companies. I have others calling me wanting to take on their work too but I have too much for now.

I haven't found shite (well technically I have found shite...)

At least most of the time the real estate companies will leave the electricity on so I can have some AC

Edit: my dad would love more work... he doesnt do shite, just gets me or contracts other people to do it the work. They only have like 5 people on staff, but they have some cheap people they contract to do most of the construction stuff

Dude, I don't want to make you jealous but I have found misc tools, a Playstation, iPhones, etc. I always go through the houses before I let my guys trashout and get the good shite. They take some of what I don't want then we haul off the rest.

Email me about your pops and I will send you the info.

Lucky bastard. I don't think I've ever found anything worth keeping out of the 15 or so houses I've had to trash. I'm waiting for that time though

I think when people lose their house to repo vs just leaving a rental they are more likely to leave some good stuff behind. Not sure why but it seems that way.

One flip house I did years ago people ripped holes in the sheet rock and shite in the walls. I had to hire a hazardous waste contractor to come clean it up and bleach it all because I wasn't touching it and my subs refused to.
