Comment on How to find a fan that blows 90° from intake?

you’re looking for a radial fan, as opposed to the normal axial kind.
be warned though, they need to spin faster to move the same amount of air and so tend to be a lot louder.

unfortunately as others have said, any redirection of the air flow will cause extra noise.

Are they worth it vs just redirecting the input/output?

Redirecting the input from the designed direction will slow down the airflow and often increase the noise level as it struggles to draw the air in.
