I'm looking at replacing the three fans in one of our secondary pc case, a C/M praetorian, with three quiet 80mm ones and I'm at aloss to choose which ones to go for. I've been looking at the arctic cooling 80mm ones 'cos they're nice and cheap, but I'm quite taken by the noctua and sharkoon ones.
Anyone got any advice, opinions on these choices?:)
Cheers.
 
Sharkoon 'Golf Ball' Silent Eagle 2000's...

The only 80mm fans that shifted any air quietly in my experience!

2nd'd, they're nothing short of a 80mm revelation.

Just to quantify, one of them keeps a 3GHz P4 Prescott cool in my in-laws PC, in near silence.

Would you advise the 120mm size Sharkoons to replace the 3 fans on the Antec 900, or would it not be worth it? I cant find any specs on the fans Antec currently use regarding the amount of air they shift :\
 
Yes, the site and its forums are an absolute wealth of knowledge. Along with Xtremesystems, I find it to be the most useful resource on building a quiet yet highly overclocked computer.
