Default Most suitable fans for Antec Nine Hundred
I'm sick and tired of these tricool illuminating my bedroom at night and their volume even on low.

Has anyone had any good experiences with replacing them with a certain fan or are there any that should be recommended.

Temps aren't an issue, so the CFM can be equal to or slightly less than my tricool.

Preferably best price/performance too, and all black.

Want to be able to keep my PC on without anybody knowing.

I used these Xigmatec fans on my A300. The cfm is more than the tricools on low, cfm is around the same as the tri-cool on high, but the db level is alot better than the tri-cools.

There seems to be a few variations but I think these look good.

I have a G model at 75 CFM, and it is deadly quiet, and blows a ton of air. I highly recommend them. The Fmodel might be your best bet, though. It still blows plenty of air, but it is whisper quiet.

*EDIT* I just realized you are in the UK, so just look for the same model #'s and specs.

The Xig's I'm using are within 3cfm of those, and at least 10db quieter.

Are these similar to the stock HDT-S1283 fan do you know? Because that thing is quiet!

They are marginally louder but move alot more air. I have a S1283 and these are better than the fan that comes with it
