Does anyone know whether these are any good ?

I'm thinking of having no case fan on my new Asus P4B266 and just one of these instead....

I had good results with a 12cm sunon fan (at 7V) as air-intake in the side-panel. Just made a big hole, mounted the fan in rubber grommets to reduce vibration-noise. It produces a lot of flow over the cards and the mobo. In the front I use 2 lownoise 8cm papst fans as outlet.
The big fan is almost silent at 7V, not comparable with the noisy slot-fans, and producing great airflow through the case.

One more thing, I just saw that the slotcooler goes into an empty slot, sucking air from the CPU area. Isn't the AGP board the first card next to the CPU? So it will prevent the cooler from sucking away air form the CPU area.
