110 CFM max...?
Could work on a smaller cab.
I think they are all OVER rated on the CFM.
Mine is supposed to be 440 but I doubt it...?

Any reason to control the speed?.. They are so quiet I just let them run wide open.

They have higher cfm models, I read reviewers that said they were louder than they hoped, speed control gives you sound options I would hope

I've been running a whispergreen for over 5 years that has a built in speed controller, so nothing new here(except it looks like an add-on package rather than built in). Speed control makes a big difference on noise. I run mine at 50cfm these days with my new lights, fan is rated at 130cfm.

5 years huh? I've read a lot about people having those fans crap out after about a year. I was interested in them at first when looking for an alternative for pc fans but turned away after bad reviews. But 5 years has perked my ears back up. How loud does it run compared to pc fans?
