I planned on using two Fans in the case I have been building, one up front (intake) and one in the back for exhuast. I wired one up for a test & it just doesn't seem to move much air.

Here are the Fans I am using:

I used a standard molex power connector, using the outside yellow and closest black. Should I be using a red and black instead?

Or should I ditch these fans all together & get something else? I you make a suggestion I'm looking for good airflow, it doesn't have to be that quiet. It will reside in a data center with 200 plus servers humming away.

Thanks

Depending on what model you have it may only put out 28CFM's for more info look here http://www.nidec.com/ta350dcl.html

I've got a 80mm 48.5 CFM YS tech on my AX-7 and it keeps it nice and cool and not too loud. You can pickup a pair here http://www.heatsinkstore.com/new48ys804pi.html and they have plenty of other fans to choose from too

You will probably find that within a closed case they move (working together) enough air to make a difference. If you really don't care about noise a couple of these should be more than enough, more than likely overkill, for your needs.
