that's a pretty low cfm rating, but it'll be quiet...

Some of the best lighted case fans I have seen are the Antec ones. They will give you 34CFM at 30DB.

Yeah, the antec are probably the best LED fans. 80mm, 34cfm, very bareable noise, and something like 2700rpm.. might be off on the rpm, but that's what four of my case fans are... the 40cfm sunon is nice as well. little louder though, but that's what the fan controller is for

I have an Antec thermally regulated fan. On the box it was rated at 52CFM max. So I just cut out the temp sensor.( a small metalloid ball) and joined th ewires. Its somewhat loud, but gives me good CFM onto my HS.

Have you removed the fan grids from your case yet..These are the restrictive grids that are infront or behind your fans.Removing these increases air flow and reduces noise..
