it is impossible to get two 250mm fans for a thermal take armor. plus getting one would be as waste because my friend has one and its far from quiet. I am planning on getting a Tuniq Tower 120 and putting a thermaltake fan into it that has lower dBA then the fan it comes with. Getting a fanless psu and taking all my case fans out would be a dumb idea because with a fanless psu you need to have good air flow to prevent it from over heating. Thanks for the ideas though.

Does anyone happen to know some really good and quiet 120MM and 90MM fans?

Having an Armor myself i can tell you that the hard drives will be your biggest problem.

As for the 250mm side fan, the one made for the case is completely silent.

Are your fans stock?

Take out the 90mm fans as they are not needed and just add noise.

Your PSU is is on the loud side as well.

Why does everyone still recommend the Tuniq Tower when there's the OCZ Vendetta 2 and the Xigmatek HDT-S1283? They compete with the TRUE in terms of performance but cost less than the Tuniq Tower.

Anyway, one way to quiet down your case would be to replace your fans with Noctua ones.

1. Get silencing foam http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...347716fe93b790


2. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...347716fe93b790

I don't know whether you have open or closed fans I have a set by nexus and they really silence your fans so they are no b.S

3. Look into an HDD silencer http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...347716fe93b790

Those are really solid peaces they will really bring down the vibration of your case.

4. Case feet that are rubber
