You mean what kind of fan can you put on your AX7? If thats what you meant go for the Megatronics 80mm 53CFM its only 39dbs. Look at http://www.plycon.com/mech80.htm

Thats just 4CFM more than the one he's got!!!
Try making a 120MM > 80MM adapter, 100CFM silence

The ones you buy, www.plycon.com has them, restrict flow alot. What you might want to do is use a piece of plexi to make an adapter. Something like this with a flat piece of plexi

here is what would be ideal, this is only a 60mm to 80mm and 92mm but if you could find something like this that was 80mm to 120mm it would work good.

Go for the Delta with its static vanes and if it's too loud for you (it probably is) get a rheostat and quiet it down.
A Delta 68CFM running at a lower voltage is much better than a 50CFM fan with no static vanes.
I have the AX-7 with a Delta 8038SHE (68CFM) and a Thermaltake Fan Speed Control that sits in a spare PCI slot for ease of use and now the delta is humming rather than screaming

There's also a Delta 8038, I think the HHE model which is actually quiet. It provides 48CFM. If you don't want to mess with a rheostat, I would suggest this one.
The Delta 8038SHE moves 68CFM at 12V, so at about 9V that it's running now I'd guesstimate something like 50. I can also run it at about 6V (about 30CFM) but I lose air pressure and temps increase more, plus there's a (slight) chance that the fan won't even start at this voltage.
Anyway, at 9V all I hear is a nice hum

You can make them out of cardboard if you so wish.
Just get a Ruler, a Pencil, Some tape and sicssors and of course one brain. (I know it heres somewhere, rumages through trash)

Simply use a Dremel to cut through the Plexi, and use Cement or Super Glue to affix it together.
(Just careful of the cement fumes) I would also make many cardboard prototypes before to make sure you get it absolutely correct, and when cutting Plexi dont rush, go slow else it could crack.
Good Luck!
