having recently upgraded my system and getting rid of the old dustbuster cooler on my old CPU, ive noticed that most of the noise from the PC is coming from the case fans. Here are my thoughts:
case is a thermaltake tsunami 3000BWA (the windowed one), with 2x 120mm fans front and rear and 1x 92mm fan on the side (all fans came with case)
current rear fan is a blue LED, which clashes horribly (imo) with mobos colour scheme (foxconn a7da-s 3.0)
i have two free pwm headers on the mobo which i would quite like to make the most of (not particularly interested in investing in a seperate fan controller)
i quite like the look of a white LED fan on the back:

unless anyone else has a better suggestion, which means front and side would be the pwm ones.
The front fan is out of sight, so i really couldnt care less about make, shape or colour as long as its pwm, quiet, fairly cheap and shifts a fair amount of air.
the side fan id prefer not to just have a black one, as it looks rather dull, but i would like something that fits in with mobo colour scheme (black/yellow, with copper heatsinks), and still supports pwm.
enlighten me people
