I've looked on newegg, frys, and tigerdirect and I don't know of other good, trusted etailers that carry Yate Loon fans.

More importantly I need them to move a decent amount of air in this case with the least dB possible: Cooler Master Centurion


Halllp!

Yep... what he said. Ordered from them in the past, will definitely order from them again.

Great! Which fans would you suggest?

for a really flexible combination i would go with the highspeed ones and buy a fan controller. i have mine running at full speed on my rad (4 of them) and i swear it sounds like the case is gonna take off any minute but if you take the speed down they still provide good airflow

how about noise levels when the high speed fans are running at low speeds with those controllers?

When I recently added water cooling I bought 3 yate loon 120's and a fan-speed controller. On "medium" setting you barely hear them, at full speed they can make a bit of noise. Consider though that mine are mounted on top of my rad, which is mounted on top of my case. So they're about 2' from my head when I sit in the chair. I imagine that inside of a case they wouldn't be too noisy. I think I'll be buying a couple more to replace the existing case fans and will probably use them in future builds.

Cool, I was looking at the medium or low-speed ones considering that I'm building this for my dad, who wants this as quiet as possible. (I'm telling him that he'll want a different video card down the line as my old 7800GT is not exactly quiet) Anyway, I think a speed controller would defeat the purpose of my K.I.S.S. approach if I can just control the fan speed in the BIOS.

According to Silent PC, the Scythe E are a good bet for quiet and effective. J-T has them for around $14 each with a quantity discount over 2 or 3 each. I'm going to try to order some next payday for my Antec 300s.

they do have a 3pin header with rpm control if you have enough headers on your mobo

Sounds great! Thanks everyone!

BTW, I'm looking at Jab-Tech's site and I must be having a stupid moment. Is this the one you're talking about? http://jab-tech.com/Scythe-S-Flex-Fan-S ... -3256.html

That would be them.

Great, I just read up on them at SPCR, thanks again!
