"I ordered five IX-08025-09 9db 80mm fans. You can find them at silenx.com here-http://www.silenx.com/productcart/pc/configurePrdz.asp?idcategory=3&idproduct=84, or at silenxusa.com here-http://www.silenxusa.com/productcart/pc/configureprd_z.asp?idcategory=8&idproduct=32. I ordered from silenxusa.com and both the website and the paper invoice I received with the shipment showed that I ordered IX-08025-09 fans. What I got instead were IXP-54-09 fans. They are still 9db 80mm fans, but instead of standard black they are silver/chrome. The fans shown on both websites have been discontinued. I know some people like the shinny stuff aka bling, but I am not one of those people. Fortunately I have a friend willing to swap his four SilenX 9db fans for 4 of these and I can put the 5th in front of the hard drive bay so I won't have to look at it for years. Had this not been the case I would have returned the fans. To be fair, I also ordered a 600 watt power supply. They e-mailed me saying it was out of stock and would take a month. I asked them to remove it from the order, which they did without any problems. "

"Update: Alex emailed me back and offered to sell me a PSU at a discount. Not sure for how much as I already got my Asus PSU from Newegg before I got Alex's email. SilenX seems very customer focused.

The iXtrema Pro 450 watt PSU failed after a year and a half. I find it funny that they rate their fans for high hours but the warranty is only 1-2 years. Bought on 8/24/04. I have placed a few orders with this company. The fans are quiet but if you put your hand to them they seem to push less air than fans rated at similar cfms. One of the 60mm fans has an irritating whine to it. The colors are inconsistent in the LED fans. You may get what appears to be blue UV or plain blue. Not that it is a big deal, but the color hues look very different in a windowed Lian Li case. I'm not saying this is a bad company, and most of the fans I ordered are great. Bummed about the PSU. Admittedly it could be an anomaly, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm out of a PSU. Shipping is fast."

"I put five of these 120mm fans in my case and they are amazingly quiet and still do the job.
Very fast delivery.
High quality fans.
Would reorder."

"Somewhat disappointed...

I ordered 2 14 dba 120mm fans, 1 blue LED 14 dba 120mm fan and a 520 Ixtrema Pro PSU. The fans are not as quiet as I would have hoped for. The only one that met my expectations was the LED fan. The others are actually louder than the $9 Globe fans I was previously using. And those are rated at 30 dba!! One fan has a horrible whine to it.....

I was sent a 600 W PSU instead a 520, which I guess was nice, but even the specs of the 600 I received are VERY different than the product listed on the website. I expected to get the product on the website and instead got a PSU with a horribly cumbersome "powerpipe" and 2 LED fans. Not what I wanted or expected. Have requested an RMA for the PSU.

I also think that these products are much too expensive for what they claim to offer.

Silenx also needs to work on their communication skills. Although they are very helpful when calling their headquarters, they NEVER answer any emails to their support addresses. I shouldn't have to make a long distance phone call to get an answer everytime I have a question or concern.

I probably wouldn't do business with this company again."

"Ordering was easy. I like how quiet the fan is! I did have a question, and my email went unanswered. Luckily, I figured it out myself."

"First of all, I just wanted to say it took me a while to post this review up since I've been so busy enjoying my new SilenX products! I bought the Luxurae HDD Silencing Solution and a couple of 120mm blue led 14dba fans. They arrived very well-packaged and in good time. These products are so much more than I thought they would be; 110 percent satisfaction! I intalled my fans first, and when I booted my PC, all I could hear was my HDD. Its amazing how loud a HDD can get! However, when I took my HDD and installed it into the Luxurae HDSS, the only thing I could hear was the washing machine operating in my laundry room down the hall! I recommend these products to any PC enthusiast willing to sink a tad deeper into their pockets for a superior product."
