Just wondering who all has replaced the stock 120mm fans in their Super LanBoy? I want something quieter. I have some panflo 80mm L1A's in my spare machine that I like. Would panaflo be the best for 120mm's also?
Also if I get new fans do I need to mount them with the rubber case mounts and where can I get them? Not sure excatly what they are called.
Is the front fane held on with the same rubber pieces?

I think all of Panaflo's 120mm fans are 38mm deep, which would probably result in fitting issues with your case. If temps aren't a problem to you, you can get some of those Nexus/Yate Loon fans, which are very quiet.

The fans on Super LanBoy are already low RPM (quiet). If you want quieter ones, you will have higher temperatures.

Rubber fan mounts result in quieter performance since they somewhat isolate the fan from the case. Otherwise, any fan vibration will be transferred to the case, which can resonate and amplify the sound.
This is one place you can get them from in the States.

The front fan is mounted by 4 screws.
