Best 120mm fan for upgrade?
I'm looking to replace the 4 Antec TriCool 120mm's I have in my Antec 900 case, and I'm just looking for some opinions before I spend the $. Reviews on Silverstone fans seem to be good, but they are rated pretty loud. Thoughts?

I'm looking for better cfm, mostly. The TriCools at max are tolerably loud right now, since they're overpowered by my TT120's fan anyway.

Go for the Silverstones or maybe a Yates Loon?

The silverstone fm121s are rated over 100cfm while the thunderblades rate in the 70s so that's a no-brainer I guess.

Ive got two thunderblades, they're good fans, I put one in my tt120. I also have an antec tricool that goes up to 79 cfm, it gets pretty loud. Go with the thunderblades. Or, if you've got the money, get some silenx fans. All I hear out of my case is the airflow, because I have the tricool on low. If I were to cut out the fan grill in the back, it would be silent. Silenx are the most quiet though. If you set them up right that is. The airflow is the loud part, but like I said, if it's set up right, with nothing blocking the airflow, there won't be a problem.

Thunderblade or Blue Eye. both Thermaltake. A1926/1927/1918 (blue/red/green) and A2018 (blue).
the "blue eye" smartfan pushes almost 100 CFM, and comes with a controller. i like to call it the "FM121 with LEDs"
