Ill second this.

Ive got 4 of them in my 900. They work great for cheap fans, good airflow and quiet. I got them all for 5.99 each at Frys. Ive got mine on a fan controller for maximum silence, I run them at 1500 rpm and I cannot hear my PC over the sound of my ceiling fan. They do have a slight click when undervolted, but you can only hear it if you are right up on the fan and adjusting the voltage.

I'm not sure how they compare to higher priced fans, but they are silent and push a ton of air.
thats strange all of the amazon reviews say they are quite noisy?

They're good, but they do produce a bearing noise that may be irritating to some users.

BitFenix Spectre's and Spectre Pro's are very popular, I chose the Enermax TB Silence fans for my exhaust since the width of the cone of air exiting is larger than that of the BitFenix Spectre's (I think the Spectre is better suited as an intake fan, the cone of air is more directed)

People complain about the dumbest and smallest things. The fans are not loud at all.

Cheap, but very effective. I'm using 3 in my case currently and getting excellent cooling results.

They'll look something like this;

Bitfenix Spectre/Spectre Pro's are a good choice.
