CabCool 802 Lite Dual 80mm Fan Cooling Kit for Cabinet & Home Theaters

This fan kit has everything you need to bring your media cabinet temps down. I ordered these because my DVR was overheating to the point of becoming non-functional. It would actually give me a message saying it was overheating.Anyway, installing these fans was a snap, and now my cabinet temps are way lower. Nice and cool in there.Best part about these fans is that they are completely quiet. I run them 24/7 since my DVR is always recording stuff, and these things are literally silent. Even when you get up close to them you can't hear them at all. They push a reasonable amount of air, too, so the silence is surprising.My only problem is that the screw holes on the fans are very weak. When attaching them to the mounting bracket, at least 3-4 of the screw holes broke open as I was putting the screws in. They are still snuggly mounted though, so I don't mind much. Just be extra careful when screwing them in.I plan on buying another one of these kits to cool the other part of the cabinet.

Having owned this for exactly 2 years now, I can say that while it operates fine, I've noticed over time the bearing are wearing out causing the fan to get noticeably louder. It's not like a jet, but if everything is off in the house, you can hear it while walking by the entertainment center. It was noticeable quieter brand new.

I have a metal av cart I use to hold all the equipment for our poolside movies, the bluray player, the receiver that powers the speakers (all output jacks on the cart walls so its self contained and self stored) and it always ran really warm even with the cart doors open. Needed something to help increase airflow without having to use a regular fan. I knew they made media cabinet fans but didn't want to spend a lot of money. Came across this fan setup while surfing thru Amazon. Thought I'd give it a shot as it seemed to fit my needs: small, moved air and had everything with it so I didnt have to coddle together parts. Shipped quickly with my Prime membership. Received it quickly, packed well. Parts all bagged nicely. Fans seemed to be of good quality. Nice grills. The fan plate is cut perfectly, finish showed no flaws, all the bolts, screws and nuts were included along with the power supply. Put it all together, I did pull up the website and read the instructions there and watched their videos. My install was a tad bit different then most as I was putting it into a metal cabinet. Cut into the back of the metal cabinet using a template I made based upon the cut out dimensions they provided (7"x3.25"). Fan assembly slipped right in. Instead of the provided screws, I went with some small bolts and nuts I had laying around as I did not want to rip flesh open if anyone reached into the back part of the cabinet and contacted those screws. Bolted it up, plugged the wallwart into the switched outlet of the receiver. Gave power to the cart, (I built in a power strip), turned on the receiver and the fans came on. Nice even speed, good air flow, and you can't hear them when you're away from the cart. No noticeable electrical interference thru the speakers either. First outdoor movie night we had with the newly added fans, after 2 hours, receiver was much more noticeably cooler than ever before. Pretty happy about that. Don't have to worry know about heat damage to my equipment. Looking for a rather decent dual fan setup for the price? Shouldn't have to look further.

Easy to assemble, easy to use. Hardest part for me was to do was the cut out in the back of the cabinet. Updated review............................ As others have mentioned the fans run all the time and are quiet, too quiet. As when they stop you don't notice it and caused a my very expensive receiver to fry. Now have to spend thousands of dollars to replace the receiver and will upgrade my fans to ACInfinity w/ controllers. Going now with cabinet (2) fans plus component cooling (2) fans. Component fans lay on top of receiver and exhaust the air to the rear of the cabinet where the cabinet fans exhaust to outside the cabinet. Maybe fans might be a little noisy, meaning you have air movement within the cabinet, but better that than frying your electronics with some cheap imitations.
