I have 4 sunon fans in my antec case and the noise is unbearable. However It keeps my cpu temp down 7 degree tho. I wanna know if there are other fans that are more quiet and high in quality too? and where can i order em?
Most Quiet Case fan?

yes, i just recieved 2 panaflow's from teamawe.com and I have to say that the fans are VERY quiet, however the airflow isn't as great as the louder fans.
Edit: Expensive?? I don't know about that they run for 4.75 at teamawe.com plus shipping and that is just standard Priority mail which ended up to be 3.90 for me with delivery conformation.

"Pabst" make some quiet fans. Theyre even quieter than panaflo's but are a bit expensive 
They do a 60mm (612NGL) and a 80mm (8412NGL) fan (CPU & PSU/Case) that only emit - 60mm = 16db for 12.4cfm and 80mm = 12db for 19cfm.
I think if i remeber right panaflo's are 21db yeah?
Dunno if its right, but doesnt each 3db reduction equal twice as quiet?
If so then these pabst fans will be noticeably quieter than the panaflo's
rockhard =)

I personally hate loud systems, so I did a lot of looking around for quiet fans. I learned two things: if you can fit them, it's much better to go with 120mm fans that have a slow rotational speed, because they are generally quieter than 80mm fans that spin fast (while pushing as much or more air).
Secondly, make sure that you have sufficient openings in your case to get the air through. I bought a PC Power & Cooling (pcpowercooling.com) "Silencer Auxilliary Fan" (which I would recommend- as it is virtually silent!), and put it in my case. When I held the fan in my hand in open air, I couldn't hear it at all, even from up close. When I put it in my case though (front-side bottom), it still generated noise. The reason is because my the metallic inside in my case (not talking about the front bezel) had a bunch of little air holes where I put the fan. As the fan drew the air through these holes, it caused noise. I took a pair of tin-snips and cut a big circle the size of the fan where the air holes were. Now the air-flow is improved, and the noise has disappeared.
Bottom line: get a silent fan and modify your case to make sure the air-flow to the fan isn't limited or pulling through tight little holes. Also remember that larger fans with slower rotational speeds are quieter while moving as much air. And lastly, remember that "silent" fans usually have the trade off of not moving as much air.

well said
BTW the panaflow's are pretty quiet also. From two feet away you wouldn't notice that it's turned on, but if you put your ear up to it then you can hear a "little" whirl of the wind. And i mean LITTLE. But when I put it in my system, it makes some noise due to turbulance created by my stock fan grills. If nothing was intruding the airflow then I bet it would be silent.
I would recommend any fan that has a db rating of 24 or lower.
