madshrimps.be also has a 120mm fan comparo. I think the M-cubed fan there is the low speed YateLoon.

I always hear 2 names mentioned for quiet and quality fans. Yate Loons and Delta. I used to hear Panaflo lots - and as a result I own 3 high speed panas - 2x80mm and 1x120. With a fan controller (I use the Vantec Nexus - less than $20), they are BOTH quiet, and they kick out wicked CFM when needed (almost never - only for OC testing).

For the price, the Yate Loon 120mm could be considered. They're quiet at 28dBA and move 47cfm around $7 shipped. You can always pay more for powerful fans. It's your choice.

$7 shipped? I bought 6 for $17 shipped (D12SL-12) which I bought either from nexfan or jab-tech.

I have had two SilenX iXtrema 120mm start to grind after five months. They were barely dusty and cleaning did not fix this. Replaced them with Antec Tricools.
