Solution for the awful Delta?

I ordered a Thermaltake 60MM

Statistics: 60x60x25, 31 CFM @ 4550 rpm, 28 dBA, 1.8w .17 Amp, 12v DC, 3-pin connector.

I found the 31cfm seems to be a good compromise between the YS-tech 27cfm and the 37cfm delta. I don't know if I believe it is this quiet, but I will find out Thursday. I am using the YS-tech 27cfm now, and while it is way more quiet than a delta, at 36 dBA it isn't exactly silent. I also ordered two 80mm low speed 31cfm 28 dBA fans for the case, the ones I have now are generic and noisy. I modified my two blowholes from a tight circular drilled pattern to open holes with nice chrome grills. It made a huge difference, case temps 28c and cpu temp 35c after 2 hours of Mech 4. Waiting on a A1 Electronics 400-watt so I can crank the cpu up to 1500+. After switching to a Geforce Pro and DDR board from Sdram and a V5 which ran off a second power supply, my old power supply just isn't strong enough. I'll post temps with the 31cfm fan when it gets here.
 
It's quiet alright... but it's defintely not 31 cfm....
it pushes even less than the ys-tech 27cfm one (the one i'm using right now as a result of comparison)
