Looking for QUIET and durable 80mm case fans

[Polishwonder74]

I've got a question for y'all: I've been running all the fans on my Nexus at the lowest speed, so I'm thinking of just selling my Nexus and buying all lower rpm fans. I've got a big aluminum Chieftec case that holds 4 80mm fans. Does anyone have any experience with some good quality, low rpm fans? I'd like to put in some fans that won't crap out on me anytime soon. It seems like you guys really like those Panaflo fans, are there any others that you've found to be any good? I've just been picking through what the fellas at Newegg have and there's tons to choose from. Which ones do you like best?

Panflo L1A 80mm is what you are looking for.

And they're on sale (2 pin version) at svc. Just ordered mine for my chieftec case

Vantec Stealth

or volt mod your current fans to 5V or 7V and you won't have to buy new fans.

Panaflos > Vantec Stealth.

Thanks guys!

Maybe I'll buy 2 of each and I'll be able to mess with them a little and settle the Panflo vs. Stealth dispute once and for all.

I've had great luck with PC Power & Cooling Silencer fans.
