Quiet fans and case setup

Here is my case, I had just done the rounded cable stuff Pic1 and Pic2 and Front View

Can someone please recommend some fans? quiet ones, I would prefer the 120 or the 80mm ones.
Should I put 1 120 fan in the front to suck the air in and 2 80s in the back to push it out? What would be an idle setup?
Also, in the Front picture, do you think that those tiny holes are enough to let in air or should i drill some more holes?

Any recommendations with links to products recommended would be great.

Thanks,
 
Thanks for the reply Crash.

I've been reading other posts and seems like ATers and VHs are mostly using Panaflo or Enermex...which one is better...as in quieter and pulls in nuff air?
 
I have used both. I choose enermax now because they are adjustable. I like having a little more control and the purple case, clear fans and gold grill were also selling points 😉. Honestly they push a decent amount of air before they start to get audibly noticable. I have 2 92mm and 2 80mm enermax with an 80mm panaflo in my PSU. My case is pretty damn quiet and is very cool. Either way you cant go wrong.
 
Just looked at the pics. Cut out a blow hole in the front. Pretty easy to do. I like to have open area's for my fans. I have a blow hole in the front top and back.
 


<< Panaflo L1A series Here and Here >>



any place cheaper than these? i'm looking for 2 80mm fans and so far the silencers from PC P&C are the cheapest at $18.00 shipped for 2.
 
Cheap Panaflo's for 2.99 or 2.49 if you buy a dozen. I got 12 a couple months ago and was $35 or so with shipping...

edit: for the 80mm's
edit: the BG micro link above has for 2.49 or 1.99 (for 10+) but I dont know about their shipping... could be really sweet... I might get another 10...
 
i take it those are untailed panaflos for $3?

EDIT:

Mimimum Order:
To place an order, the subtotal must be a minimum of: $ 15

Damn yo, that ain't cool.
 
I don't argue the qualitiy of panflo, it's just pc power and cooling's silence is better
28 cfm compared to panflo's 24 cfm
at a lower noise level (20dba compared to 21dba, admittedly, like we could hear the difernce)
at 3000 rpms slower.
hmmmmmmm.... which do ya think is better designed?

P.S. for giggles here's a site where you can Listen to your fans before ya buy. not all models are ther though.credit goes to muzzy, who posted the link some time ago.
 
WooOOO HOOOOO. I finally found if searching for an hour!
Swanny posted this awesome link awhile ago so ya can compare various fans spec side by side( or in this case one under another)
have a peak !
 


<< i take it those are untailed panaflos for $3? >>



Actually they are tailed with 2 wires and a 2 pin connector, but I use the 2 pin connector on 3 pin connections by just trimming the ear from one side of the connector.

I got a dozen fans to avoid the $15 minimum... plus the cost to ship per fan is only like .50 on a dozen vs 1.00 on 6...
