AC InfinityAIRPLATE S9, Quiet Cooling Fan System 18" with Speed Control, for Home Theater AV Cabinet Cooling

I purchased the AC Infinity fans to install in a new electronics cabinet I was building to help keep myour systems cool. I purchased both the set that have the controller and an eXtra s9 3 fan unit to use as an air intake.The fans are incredibly well made. The aluminum face plate has a nice brushed metal look to it. NOTHING about the fans or controller feels cheap. I would definitely buy them again.Installation was easy. The fans and the controller come with plastic templates that you can place on the side of the cabinet to mark where to cut. I drilled the 4 corners of my marked out area and used a jigsaw to cut the holes. The entire installation of the 2 fans and controller took about an hour.Operation is simple. The instructions are in English, include pictures, and actually make since. Programming the controller is as simple as pressing the up or down arrow to change your set point temp. You have the option so to set your fans to Auto, on, off, and smart setting. There is also an option to set a temp buffer of 2 or 4 degrees for the fans to turn off once the set point is reached. It's probably one of my favorite settings because the fans don't have to run all the time. The fans are quiet and move a lot of air. There is also an alarm temp setting to alert you if your cabinet is too hot.My only suggestion for anyone purchasing this product is to get some velcro cable ties so you can bundle up the extra wire. The fans come with plenty of cable to reach the fan controller. The cables are standard USB so if you need a longer one a USB extension cable could be used.Overall I am impressed. This is a great product for anyone who wants professional quality and results.

Just got the AC Infinity AIRPLATE T7 w/ Thermostat Control with an AIRPLATE S9 (one for inlet, the other outlet). Used them to convert a closet into a ventilated computer server closet (I was forced to leave the door open all the time and even then it still got to hot). I decided to go this route instead of the hundreds for a 19" rack because in the end it will still be an eyesore to look at and noisy! It's cooling the 3 machines without any problem which run at 100% CPU load 100% of the time. They come in black only so I decided to paint them white to match the door. The design of the system is very simple and very effective.Pros:* Easy install, pre-cut plastic templates included, about 2 hours for all 3 combined (took my time).* Simple cabling design, only 1 power source, daisy chainable should I want to add more.* Solid build quality, look good and they make it easy to replace/upgrade fans.* Noise reduction, no longer have to leave the door open, sure you can still hear noise but much less.Cons:* Included manual is actually really good, however it does miss how to change the brightness level. This is literally the only thing I can find to "complain" about and the answer was only a search away.* Probably a bit on the expensive side, but considering it just works, doesn't phone home and I doubt they sell millions of them (though they should) I'm not complaining.All in all, for me, it turned out to be one of those feel good projects because every thing worked as expected, no hiccups, and a really nice outcome. Rarely will I write a review let alone take pictures, but here you have it. The before (door open), black (factory) and finally in white. Not sure why amazon is flipping the pictures sideways?Updated: I tried to contact support for a simple question about voltages and switching fans and never got a response, however they had no problem asking for me to give another positive review. So I wouldn't say I'm mad, but certainly not happy with their support. At any rate allow me to do their job for them. You CAN upgrade to regular PC fans (standard 120mm) but note that USB power is only 5v and the supplied wall adapter is only 6.5V so your fans wont spin fast. However my question was if it was OK to use a 12v supply. So I took a gamble and have been using a 12v 2a adapter just fine for a couple weeks. I did try a 13v but that was to much and caused the control unit to flash on and off (no good). I did also have to turn down the brightness on the control unit because it was way to bright @ 12v. Anyway, good luck folks, I really like these things!

AC Infinity Cooling Fan SystemI've been using the AC Infinity cooling fan system for a while now, and overall, I'm impressed with its performance. The ultra-quiet operation is definitely a highlight - it's perfect for my home theater setup. The multi-speed controllers are also a great feature, allowing me to customize airflow and noise levels.However, I did expect a bit more power from the units for faster cooling. While they do a great job of keeping things cool, I found that they didn't quite match my expectations in terms of speed. That being said, I understand that more powerful fans often come with a trade-off in terms of noise.Despite this, I'm still happy with my purchase. The build quality is excellent, and the fans are durable and reliable. If you're looking for a quiet and effective cooling solution, I'd definitely recommend checking out AC Infinity.Also there support teannis amazing, I contacted them and asked them alot of questions from specs, to my cabinet design and size of which they recommended these.
