I'm looking for fans that won't be too loud and have LEDS. I've seen some with 4 LEDS which look really nice. As for price, I'm not sure since I haven't ever really bought fans except one. I'm going to be having one for intake and one for outake. I want it to do a reasonable job in cooling since I'm going to have 2 hard drives for sure and possibly a 3rd.

Yeah, but since I odn't havce much experience with these, is 30DB loud? I'll have 2 of them, so 60DB, and then the fan(s) from my power supply, Radeon 9700 non pro, and my cpu. How much noise would that be? The CPU will be a 2.4ghz with 800mhz FSB and HT, the pewr supply will be some nice Antec or Enermax.

It wouldn't be 60db, more like 32-33db for 2 fans. That's not silent, but it's not a screamer either.

Two 30 dBA would be around 33 dBA, if you under run it at 7 volt, you can do about 23 dBA, both fans combined. I'd say the common consensus on "silent" is anything below 25~30 dBA at 1m. Just my $0.02.
