I plan to use a plasma cutter on my case and cut 2 holes for 120MM fans (intake) and need some suggestions on fans
I was looking at 2 of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835200021

but im really going for good CFM and low noise level .. variable speed would be nice .
im willing to pay up to 40 bucks for both fans
newegg is my ideal place to shop
or , what if i got 2 of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...%2bfan%2bguard

and got 2, 3 speed antecs ?

TIA

Go here. They have a "listening room" where you can compare the relative noise levels of different fans.

And please read this so you have at least some idea of what you're doing.
Everyone wants fans that move a lot of air and are quiet just like I want a 600 hp sedan that gets 40 mpg ...aint gonna happen. ...300 hp and 30 mpg...maybe.
If the fan manufacturer doesn't have a P/Q curve available, then you have no information what so ever on which to base a purchasing decision.
Nice colors...pretty lights...yeah sure, but how much air will it move when actually in use.
