I need some silent case fans as the ones im using at the moment do a good job, but make a hell of a row. It cant be my CPU fan becasue im using the Artic Freezer 64 pro.

Can you reccomend me some quiet fans.

What size? 80mm? 92mm? 120mm? Nocuta or the Scythe S-Flex series are my usual recommendations for quiet, but high-performance fans. The Zalman ZM-F3 fans are also supposed to be very good, but I've never used them myself. If you really want to stay under-budget, the medium-speed Yate Loon is also rumored to be excellent, but my own experiences with the high-speed version have left me somewhat less than impressed.

SilentPCReview is the best source for noise-related issues, so I'd suggest looking at their fan recommendations: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article63-page2.html

I'd also second Yate Loon fans if you're on a budget. Their reputation is excellent among quiet PC enthusiasts.
