TheWesson said:But we humans don't perceive sound and light on a linear scale. A room lit at night has thousands of times less light energy than daylight. (Daylight would be one 100-watt bulb per square meter of surface ... !!) Yet obviously a room with one 100-watt bulb in it looks fairly bright, even at night.

edit:
yep, panaflo L1As are great.
a good combination i found was this :
6 panaflo L1A fans @ 21dba (two intake, two exhausts, two to replace psu fan)
and a ~25dba blower (like the cooler master) which puts out air at higher pressure, PERFECT for those dense finned thermalrights .
if u add'em all up it comes out to about 30.6 dbA. not too loud at all
