Almost perfect
I am an expert overclocker, having been at this for 15 years now - both Intel and AMD.. I wanted *THE BEST* 140mm fan for the top fan mount on my NZXT S340 on exhaust mode: This is where I noticed the first issue (I will discuss 2 issues which are the only problems, and if they are addressed it is then a PERFECT 5/5, 'cannot get any better' product) - first upon mounting this as an exhaust fan, one notices that the fan isn't half as 'pretty' because the fan labelling isn't mirrored (many fans are the same) - so you don't see Akasa label if you are using this fan as an exhaust fan/on pull mode) - the 2nd, and more important issue - is related to this. While the case was without a motherboard during a rebuild (Changed motherboards and CPUs, liquid cooling) the case had only the Akasa fan mounted - and it got knocked over. I panicked because it appeared the fan had come apart - into 2 pieces (the blades separated from the housing) and it had only a slight knock. I would have thought AUD35 would buy a more hardy fan than that - literally falling apart from nothing more than the case tipping over.
Apart from these 2 gripes, it IS indeed a good fan - the 2nd issue didn't turn out to be a major issue, didn't require RMA - it simply went back into place, but I think that wouldn't have happened had the fan be used on PUSH (opposite of exhaust). I can only assume this fan is NOT designed for exhaust and that is sad,because it is the (spec-wise) best exhaust fan in 140mm money can buy. I didn't mind paying AUD35 for an item that is essentially pulling hot air from $1000+ of equipment below it. If Akasa are reading this - can you please take my advice and design the fan differently so it can be used on both push and pull?
I would prefer some options in colours - I saw there is only the yellow fan with black housing but that's ok. I am not so into 'pretty' PC's, prefer the function and performance being the highlight.
So despite my 2 gripes about it, I am still giving it 5 stars.
tl;dr if you want the best quality PWM fan (for push especially, but also pull mode) money can buy, you cannot go past this product. Nothing out-performs it.

Don't bother.
It works but barely. It feels TERRIBLE and also looks pretty bad. I do not recommend, unless these are priced for 10$. Also on mine the H key is sitting lower that the other keys and is not working properly.
2x Factor MTB Mountain Bike Tyres - 26 x 1.95 Black (Pair) w/ Dual Purpose Tread

Very firm compound. Will take longer to wear out. Great combo tread for both off and on road.
These tyres are made with a harder compound of rubber, so for me they're perfect. Great for both on and off road. The combination of the tread and hardness of rubber should be a lot more thorn-resistant than the last tyres I bought.
These cost $55 a pair which isn't cheap but they couldnt be wrapped up into a flat package because they're such a hard compound, they were in a large-ish box, so that added to cost.
I am very happy with these.
