Hello,

I am building myself an htpc and the stock fans coming the Thermaltake DH101 are not that silent...
I was looking at the Noctua ones but they are damn expensive!
Any cool deal around here for 60 and 120mm ?
I could not find much.

Thanks!

Well these are not really silent.
Mines are already 19db and these are 24db...
I'm thinking of this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185057 now

Thanks

that looks good thank you!
Anything for a 60mm? as the ones I found on newegg are a tad expensive :(

How much where they ? $8
PS a 120mm fan has to work much less than a 60mm fan to do the same amount of cooling as such 120mm fans dont have to run as fast as that means better sound levels.

That is a good point.
The 60mm I was looking at from newegg were around 12$ but I've just looked at fry's and they sell them for 8 which is fine.
I have to go there soon anyway so I'll save on that...

Thanks
