Im looking for a fairly quiet case fan something under 25db.

The thermaltake blue eye seems like a resonable solution at 21db and it has blue leds to boot but its a sleave fan. Ive found that sleeve fans dont last very long at all. Does anyone have any experience with this fan?

So I guess im looking for a fan under 25db that is ballbearing and under $10 each would be nice as well.

Thanks guys

Ok a little update I've found the panflow FBA08A12L which is perfect for me the only catch is allelectronics which sells them for 4.50 is out and every where else wants 7-15 bucks for them. Ill just keep on diging :)
 
Those fans are probably louder than the vantec stealth, I have posted in another thread to do a 12v to 7v mod on either the OCsystem or the SVC fans, they will be as quiet as the vantec stealth for a small fraction of the price.
 
The antecs arent bad. Regular or smart fan. The reagular one does around 26db and is pretty good for the price. I paid around 5 each for mine.
 
I bought 5 from these guys last month for my case and heatsink. They processed and shipped my order really fast. You can't go wrong for 5 bucks.

Hey thanks for all the ideas Ill go through each one and check them out.

I think I might go with the lower cost ball bearing fans and do the volt mod or use a resistor to lower the nois even more.
