SilenX or Silverstone 120mm fans?
Ok, I'm getting ready to replace my 3 stock 120mm fans that came on my Nine Hundred. They're kinda loud, and way too bright to have on while I sleep. So I'm looking for non-LED, quiet fans. From what I've read, SilenX's are great, but I've also read more than one review saying they have a tendency to blow up and spew oil or grease or whatever all over the insides of your case. My first impulse was the Silverstone FN-121. Any suggestions/comments/experience with these fans? Thanks

You could get a much cheaper solution.
__________________Get 3x Yate Loon D12SL-12 for $3 each at www.jab-tech.com And connect them to the old connections for your 120mm stock fans, and you'll have some of the quietest 120mm fans in the market.

yeah, i checked out that site with the fans. Comes out to.. $13 with air mail?
Silverstone's are kinda expensive and a bit loud on max, but they get the job done.

Well I guess I'll go with the Yate Loons for now. If I try em out and don't like em, I'm only out like $13. Better than not liking the SilenX's and being out close to $70. Feel free to keep posting suggestions, though. I probably wont order till tomorrow some time. Thanks again

You'll like the Yate Loons, trust me. You get 5 of them for the price of one Silenx fan and they're quieter to me.
