I'm Looking for some new fans to run in my case. The key word here is...

SILENCE!

I have a Panaflow U1A blaster in there right now thats driving me nuts. They still need to put out a decent amount of air.

Any suggestions?

I have heard good things about the Panaflo M1A's. Thet push around 86 CFM at around 35db. Put them on a fan controller and lower them until you are happy with the noise. Some damn good deals on them on ebay at the moment as well.

Ive got all 4 hooked up to a fan controller which brings them down to a wine but its still annoying. I'm lookin at the aluminum fan.

Airflow: 79.14 CFM
Speed: 2000 RPM
Noise (dB): 30 dBA

80CFM @ 30dbA seems pretty hard to beat.

Yeah I was looking at those aluminum fans until I bought 10 Panaflo M1A's for a total of 21.50 on ebay.
