Is it possible to have too much fan? I'm building my own mini ITX case and considering this squirrel cage blower to use as a case fan:

It's only 5.1 amps, was thinking I might even power it off the power supply. Yes, I know it will be loud.

Too much in terms of airflow? No, not really.

However, noise might be another issue. Those fans can get pretty loud.

Why not use a standard case fan?

Just had a taste for the absurd. I'm getting frustrated trying to find the right mini ITX case and I think it's showing here. Sorry to waste your time.
