Bump - Do any of you have first hand knowledge of this fan:
Panasonic Whisper Line 340 CFM 6" Duct In-Line Fan
Is it quiet? Could someone pass by it within 4' and not hear it? I'm VERY interested in getting one of these.

So, where can we actually purchase this thing? I want the 110 or 150 cfm, but I would like to know where to purchase!! Thanks for the helpful how-to, it is much appreciated!
I got an 80cfm model from here: http://www.westsidewholesale.com/in...284153.22257@@@@&pid=857&CATEGORY=634&back=16
The fan is pretty good. Noise is minimal. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to mount this outside of my little veg box (would take up too much valued room inside). I'll post something whenever I get around to doing it. Probably this weekend.
And HideYourBud, I'm pretty SURE that someone could hear it if they walked by the model you want. Hell, the model I have...someone could hear it. BUT...if you are playing a radio softly or if someone is talking...then they DEFINITELY wouldn't hear mine and probably wouldn't hear yours. If the room is dead quiet, then of course it will be audible!!!

Here's another one that might be a better option for those w/ smaller spaces or ergo concerns about their ventilation rig's size:

Thanks for the links, AlphaCat!
Keep in mind that the Panasonic Whisper line of fans come in several configurations. The low-profile models put out about twice as much sound as the standard models, given equal CFM outputs. If space is tight, low-profile will work, but if stealth is your number one priority, than the standard Whisper Line fans are your best bet.
Mysticls - You can make any fan suck air through a reflector and exhaust through a scrubber. All it is is hooking up ducting between the fan, reflector, and scrubber. You can use a PC fan, or you can use a jet engine. The main concern is the CFM:Watts or space. I've got a 150w HPS and some CFLs in a 2x2x4, and I'd like to get a model with around 200cfm.
Mysticls, nobody has done that yet - at least it seems that way - but I'm planning on doing exactly what you want to do. I bought the model in the link that I posted above. It's 80cfm. I bought 80cfm because I knew that blowing into a scrubber would decrease the cfm.
I'm not going to suck through a reflector (I'm not using an air-cooled reflector in my veg cab) but I'm going to push through a scrubber. You should check out this method: http://www.gardenscure.com/420/secu...tivated-carbon-filter.html?highlight=scrubber
That is what I'm going to do. I used it for a C25 for 4 plants in flower...but they turned out to be males. Anyway, they pretty much stunk in veg and in early flower, and my scrubber knocked out the MJ odor. That carbon filter smells like an old musty jacket, but that's better than smelling like MJ. I also put a block air freshener in the room to get rid of the old man's jacket smell. Check my gallery..I should have pictures in there.
