Looks like you have gone down the same path as me. I have an Armour and took out the original TT fans as they were too noisy and replaced them with Ambers. Eventually got fed up with those and replaced the lot with the AC fans. I have 2x120mm at the front mounted to 2 drive cages, and another mounted at the rear exhaust position. I also have 2 of the 92mm AC fans on the back and roof exhaust positions. I modded the roof cover/USB housing so that the fan is not covered. They are quieter but i am also using rubber anti vibration fasteners as well.

These 120mm fans.

These 92mm fans.

You can only fix them to exhaust positions and the three bay hard drive cages as they only have the rear frame.

I would'nt quite say silent, but they are not far from it. Certainly better than the Ambers anyway.
