Antec ATX SLK3000-B: quiet fan for "front intake"?

I meant to add this in the "Cases & Cooling" forum. Mods, please move it if necessary.

I'm not sure what the measurements for the front intake fan are? Perhaps someone can enlighten me. Afterwards please post any recommendations for a quiet fan for the front intake. The 120mm fan in the back should be quiet enough as is. Here's a link to the Antec case. Thanks.
 
Thanks Dave. BTW, since you use 4 hard drives did you add a second fan for the front intake or did you just stick with the Antec's rear fan alone?
 
That's where I put the Nexus (intake), and I kept the stock fan for exhaust.

My motherboard and CPU temps were fine with just the stock exhaust fan, but I wanted to keep the HDs cool to prolong their life.

Nice price. Does it run at very low RPM at 12v like the Nexus, or do you need a fan controller?

it runs 1350rpm natively. D12SL-12 mine is connected to the 'fan only' plug on my power supply, therefore, it is providing <12 volts and is inaudible.
