if you want uber quiet. This>http://www.jab-tech.com/Coolermaster-UV...120-mm-SUF-S12-EB-UV-Blue-pr-2590.html
if $ is tight and you still want quiet. SVC has a newer 3 blade 120mm CoolerMaster fan thats spec'd out nicely thats plain black if you'd rather have black.
The YateLoons at TekGems>http://tekgems.com/Products/et-13713-fan-d12sl-12.htm are quite the deal as well starting at $6 for 2 and $4 for 5. Yate makes the Nexus fan for them at Nexus's specs. Cant go wrong with any of those for silence imo.

I second that!! I have 2 coolermaster fans and I can`t even hear them cranked all the way up!!

bang for the Buck Coolermaster delivers!!

 

[twitchee2]

Sure, why not? You like them right? Go for it.

Delta Extreme High Speed 😀

But if you want quiet, Aerocool Turbine fans are pretty damn quiet . . . <20dBa but only 37 CFM or Thermaltake Smart Fan . . . only 17dBa at lowest speeds @ 38CFM . . .

The Panaflo Ultra Quiet is a good combo of high CFM and low noise

2 things to note...

Thermaltake Smart fans are not accurately rated for noise....I have used them and without a fan speed controller of some kind you will never even get close to 17dba....

Also I have used the AeroCool Turbine again they are not rated accurately....

Thats one of the only reason I go with the Coolermaster...they are rated very accurately!!

Not sure about the turbine but doesn't the Smart Fan come with a fan controller? Without it wouldn't it run at full speed?

yes it does...come to think of it...but I ditched the fan controller in favor of using my Zalman MFC1 after trying the controller out that it came with I felt my Zalman provided lower rpms!
