120mm Blue LED fan

Go with the loons. I had those thermaltakes and they were loud and died :/. I would suggest getting non led fans though. They arent as good as regular fans and much more annoying.

I like the 2 front LED fans, looks kinda cool.

I figured the loon's been reading good stuff about them.

The stock fans are plain sleeve bearing according to coolermaster's specs. That makes them unsuitable for prolonged operation in horizontal orientation (Lifetime and performance will be greatly reduced due to issues with lubrication).

A better way would be to replace the front, zip tie another to the bottom 3 drives bays, then get 2 cheap ball bearing fans for top exhaust.

The interesting thing about thermaltake thunderbirds is that the stock fans that come with the thermaltake armor look similar but have a different shade of blue LED and perform very well even when volt modded to 5v.

Get yates, antecs or zalmans.

These are no where near as powerful but they're very nice and quiet running @ 100%. I have 3 of them in my Antec 300.

They're sleeve bearing but do well in tests.

Yea those Thermaltake ones are NOT 28dba. They arn't TOO loud (for me) but they are more like 38dba not 28.

Just don't put too many, next thing u know your RIG gets wings and is flying in the air... lol hehe Noise is the enemy. Just prop open the side case door and stick a house fan on it LOL ,
