Case fan? Panaflo L1A, Vantec Stealth and Zalman ZM-F1. Pabst and NMB are good too, but harder to find.

I just put a 120mm Vantec Stealth in the front of my case. It's like it's not even there. Very nice, quiet fan. The box says Lifetime Warranty, which I'm not sure what that covers, but it's nice to know...

of course it is, the 120mm doesnt need to spin as fast as an 80mm to move the same amount of air .
