I heard the best silient fan is Yate Loons and I heard that the best fans were Delta or Panaflo then I saw a post about Sythe fans... I am so lost which is a good fan that does good airflow but not vaccum loud?

Panaflo has some a good quiet/airflow fans, as is the Vantec Stealth. You really should just look at the specs of the fan and anything under 30dBa is relatively quiet.

The very last thing to do is to rely on the manufacturer noise/CFM specs for anything. Most are just numbers pulled from the air by some ad-man. For a really good laugh check out the noise specs for ThermalTake products, or even worse SilenX products. Before long I suspect their noise specs will be negative numbers.....:D

well i have a 28dba 60mm fan and it's far from quiet.. so i'd say take the advertised ratings with a huge bag of salt...
