OK, so here in the States fans are rated in cfm (cubic feet per minute).

What are they rated in overseas?

Well, I haven't done an exhaustive search, by any means... but, a lot of the computer fans over here in the UK are listed with both CFM and litres/min figures.

One would hope that they both equate to the same volume rate, although you never know...
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?
