I learned something new recently... I never knew that Sony had anything to do with making fans or parts of them, but it shouldn't surprise me too much though as Sony seems to have a hand in pretty much everything.

To for review I have a 92mm fan that features a fluid dynamic bearing by Sony that is supposed to last longer, be quieter and improve performance

So for our 400^th review on DragonSteelMods, I've got a fan! Yep, a fan, a 92mm fan from our friends at Scythe. It's their new Kama Flex 92mm Silent Case fan, and I've found that it is very quiet and actually performs well.
