If only they had temperature control like the Thermaltake A2029.
The Silent 12 does.
A great case setup for these fans would be Silent 12s over the HDDs and exhausts and Wings for a heatsink fan or on a radiator for watercooling. Power and silence for where you know you'll always want it, and variability for places that can use it.
I've been a long time fan of the Scythe SFF21E (I have 10+ around the house) but might be willing to give Gelid a chance. Being able to disassemble and clean is pretty nice.
I've been a huge fan of magnets for the longest time and to see them being implemented here in a fan blows my mind! One quick question, are we dealing with electro-magnets or material magnets? I never heard of nanoflux bearings before and I was wondering how it maintains it's charge if it is not plugged in. Will the fan fall off after a month of inactivity? (Let's say I went on a long holiday.)
I believe they're electromagnets, as the wire spools would indicate, but it takes some effort to remove the impeller from the housing when powered down. They will never just fall off, so there's no worry there.
Material magnet on the blade side. I have one of these Enermax "Everest" and I cannot bring myself to use it in my rig simply because the color of the leds is a horrid light blue.
I just wanted a nice silent fan on the back cause it's an 80mm. I might be trying one of these...... blue or green?
OMG Geekgasm! DO WANT. I need to get new fans anyway, my case is around 5 years old and the fans are loud. >_< It's bad when your parents mind how loud it is.
Has anyone been able to find somewhere that sells these? I looked on Newegg but had no success? Grr I hate it when reviews come out on cool stuff and nobody can find to buy them....
Prices match up well with other fans in its class, down under the $10 mark from AeroCooler, one of GELID’s precious few North American distributors.
AeroCooler. I believe they sell both models in multiple sizes. Go there and search by manufacturer on the left side and you'll see everything they carry.

Thermaltake A2029:
RPM
1300 ±20% RPM at 20C
3500 ±10% RPM at 55C
Air Flow
35.43-95.22 CFM
Noise Level
25.5 dBA at 1300RPM
45dBA at 3500RPM
Silent 12:
RPM
750 RPM at 22C
1500 RPM at 42C
Air Flow
? - 58CFM
Noise Level
12 dBA at 750 RPM
25.5 dBA at 1500 RPM
95 CFM is nothing to sneeze at, but it sounds like if you don't need all that much, the Silent 12 will be quieter.

Ahh, that makes sense now, why didn't I think of that earlier. :P

lol... You asked them if the fans are capable of running underwater!? Why did you think of that question. xD
Underwater fans! How rad.
