Decent 120mm Uv blue fan?

I'm replacing the fan on the back of my case with a 120mm UV blue fan. My main concern is that its quiet, whats a good brand. Thanks in advance.

I've got an Akasa, reasonably quiet (but far from silent) however one of the blue Leds has died after less than a year (the PC is on 24/7 though).

Well then that sounds like a manufacturing fault as LED's by nature have an enormous lifespan.

I ended up buying a Thermaltake UV 120mm for the back and then a regular Akasa 120mm for the front as you cant see that one. I think the thermaltake is supposed to be 3 decibels higher than the Akasa, but the difference is indistinguishable.
