Hi guys

I have purchased from a popular rally supplier "up north", a pacet 10" profan as it had the best specs i could find for the size i wanted.

I received the fan today and am a bit sceptical it is what I ordered...

The fan looks nowt like the pacet fans I have seen before, and has "comex Europe" stamped into it. Is it possible that these people supply pacet. It does have the part number "PF1011B" on a gold sticker but that is the only reference that matches up with what i have ordered.

Any ideas before I rant in the morning..

Thanks

Shaun

Is it identical to the "proper"ones:

If not, get them emailed.

If you pay for a pacet fan you want facet stamped/moulded/stamped on it!!

I ordered a Pacet from (I think) Rally Design.

Any use? Gold sticker is present! Kinda hoping you're not going to tell me mine is a fake!

Hope that helps,
James

Pacet import the comex fans because they can't make a decent fan for themselves, I can't understand why they bother to rebrand them, just confuses the end customer.

It's a 'pacet' fan so you haven't been done in that way but I bet you payed way too much for it.

Have a look at the new range of fans that Rally design are now stocking.

Thankyou!

Was actually a pain to work out the best way... maximising air flow and strength...and I hope it has enough lateral strength... we'll see!

Hi

Unfortunatley by fan looks nowt like that! the blades don't taper out and they have a kind of "golf" ball look dimpling on one side of the blades.

The fan doesn't have 4 mounting slides on it, it has 6 and the mounts provided don't even fit, they are off another make of fan.

Im betting it doesn't shift as must air as its supposed to either, which is why I went for a pacet fan in the first place!!
