Default Recommend me some new case fans

Ok, right now I have 3 of these, and they came with my case. Are these any good? If not, please recommend some different ones. Blue/White LEDs are preferred but not required. Also, I need the 4 pin connectors for my fan controller.

Edit: I would like a combination of silence and good high airflow, airflow is more important though. I like the darker colors, black or blue would probably go the best with my case and the rest of my parts. I would probably like to keep it under $50 for 3 but I can go higher if needed. I need 120mm fans, but if you can find any that are thinner than what I have that would be great.

"good" is highly subjective. What do you want in a fan? High airflow? Silence? Certain stylistic colors? What size fan would you like? What is your price range?

This will probably give you the best rundown. I am not really experienced in the middle ground of fans (I know the highest air movers and the most quiet, but not in between)

All in all you may find that your stock fans are fine for your purposes. If the noise level is acceptable and your temperatures are low enough for you, then don't go spending money. If you are dead set on having the best fans though, I suppose you don't get much better universal quality testing than what is in that review.

Cooler Master R4's. They are pretty good, cheap, and look slick. The stats arent 100% accurate though, they are a little louder than 19db, more like 25-28db

alright, thanks everyone. I think I like those Xigmatek ones, but I probably wont be getting these until next spring. They wont be necessary until next summer because I live in chicago and we have cold winters which is right around the corner here.
