What is the rated current for powering Fans? i.e. what's the largest Amp rating fan I can put on the board? 1amp?
I assume there are 2 fan headers on the board of the Habanero to power 2 fans? (+ another one for pump)

I am tossing up between these 2 fans:

Sunon 120mmx25mm PMD1212PTB1-A(2).F.GN-3pin fan

Rated Current: 1.0 Amp

or

Sanyo San Ace 120mm 109R1212H1011, 120x38mm-3pin TAC Sensor, Hi-speed 2600RPM, 102.5cfm
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sanyo-San-Ace-120mm-109R1212H1071-vs-109R1212H1011-12VDC-Fan-Best-WalterCool-/170907956839?pt=US_Water_Cooling&hash=item27cae87667
Rated Current: 0.52 Amp

Planning on sticking the fans on a Corsair H100i or H105. Any idea on the difference between these 2 model Corsairs?

Also considering going BIG.. and getting the Corsair H110 with 140mm fans, but i can't seem to find 140mm server fans on ebay.

You'll probably be limited more by the connector on a single fan than anything else, but you should try and keep the total for fans/pumps under 4A or so. The fans are fed from the merging of the four 12V rails through some 5A low-drop diodes. You'll likely get some current sharing between the diodes, but due to the way diodes work at high temperatures it's best to assume a worst case that all the current would go through a single one of the diodes. 50W of cooling should be enough for any normal situation.

If you want to hook up six 250cfm screamers in push-pull across a triple radiator, pumped by a 1/3HP 3300GPH sump pump, you should hook that up direct to the power supply. Wink

Also, I want pictures.
