First Case Venture

I was looking to get a new case for my system set up because my current system is extremely noisy due to the case?s horrible construction. My old case is a no name brand simple beige case that came with a cheap power supply. I decided to go with the Lian Li PC-60A Plus case after some research. The Lian Li case had both the style I like, and the cooling capabilities I would need for over clocking. While I plan to over clock, my main concern was quietness. I figured I would just replace the fans in the Lian Li case with more quiet Panaflo fans.

Here is what I planned on purchasing:

Lian Li PC-60A Plus Silver Mid Tower
Panaflo 120mm Low Speed Fan ? for front
Panaflo 80mm Low Speed Fan ? for top
Panaflo 80mm High Speed Fan ? for air duct/back
Lian Li DVD/CD Bezel Silver x2 ? to cover my beige CD & DVD burners
Vantec 80mm Fan Vibration Dampener Kit x2
Vantec 120mm Fan Vibration Dampener Kit
Vantec Power Supply Vibration Dampener Kit

All these items were found on the Cooler Guys? website, but if you guys know any better or cheaper places to purchase them that would be great to know. I was also curious if the vibration dampening kits are worth it at all? I noticed that some people do not like the Lian Li cases, but it seemed to me the Lian Li case I choose was the best for me. I like the simple design of the Lian Li case along with the excellent cooling. Of course if you have any suggestions I have all ears open; since, I find the hardest part of putting together a computer is choosing the case.
 
Panaflo 120mm fans are all 1.5"(38mm) thick (most case fans are 1" (25mm) thick) - so be sure they will fit before buying.

.bh.
 
So does anybody know if 38mm deep fans will fit into a Lian Li 6 series case? More specifically in the front between the case and the hard drive cage.
 
I contacted the Cooler Guys? website and they said the front section would not hold the thicker Panaflo fan. This is a little bit of a disappointment, but does anybody know a good brand of 120mm fans that are 25mm thick that would work well? I need a fan that has good cooling properties, but is mostly silent.
