Hi everyone. My first post here.

I'm building a gaming PC using a CM Stacker 832 and I'm using a CM GeminII cooler.

What I'm looking for is the best configuration and choices to make regarding case (and heatsink fans).

Obviously I'm looking for the least noise possible while providing the best benefit. It would be a bonus if the fans had blue LEDs (the wife and I like them).

As you may (or may not know) The Stacker comes equipped with 2 fans, one (unlit) fitted to the back as an exhaust, one in front of the 4 in 3 HD module (lit). I also figure I'll get two high airflow (looking at the CM 120mm silent LED fans) for the cooler. It's the other ones I'm not sure about, the sidetray and the top blower.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I have two CM 120mm Silent LED fans (blue LED) and a sleeve bearing 120mm black CM fan. I'm willing to sell if you want them. However...my recommendation for the case fans (not the two on the Gemini) would be Yate Loon D12SL-12 (lower motor noise level and moves more air than the Cooler Masters).

I second the Y-L for the case fans. You can get them in black and several other colors and even clear with blue LEDs if that's what you want. My friend at http://www.Jab-tech.com would be glad to help you out. The Y-Ls are good replacements for the fans in the Coolermaster Drive Modules too.
As was said above, they are nearly as quiet and push more air. If yours come with stickers on the fan rotor side, peel them off if they are off center at all. Makes them a bit quieter and should add to longevity as well. Just be gentle on the bearings while doing it...
