I'm looking at getting three of these
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-001-XG&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=4
for my case i'm building. what else would i need, do i need some sort of fixing kit and what about noise dampening kits??
does it come with the wiring i need?? anything else i need??

also are these good fans? or should i be looking at others, but these will match the dark tint acrylic of the front case where two of them will be located

do you think i should put fan grills or dust catchers on?
 
what case are they going into ?

they will come with 4 screws probably and will have 3 pin connectors.

i've had a couple of different xigmatek fans and they are decent fans.
 
ye they will hold the fans if you don't want to use screws, some of them can be a pain to fit as some are quite hard rubber and hard to get through the fan holes.
 
Dust filters are a good idea as they reduce the amount of time cleaning inside your computer. These are good uns apparently, out of stock though http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CM-000-OE&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=795 Other solutions for fan filters on ocuk just look terible in comparison. What about a pair of tights strapped to the backside of the fan with elastic or something?

Fan grilles are a personal choice but maybe something like this. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-005-GE There's also more custom ones available on some sites featuring different shapes and stuff for extra bling.
 
were the fans ok, im guessing im tgrying to find ones with the highest cmf and the lowest dBA rates?
would i be better off with another option?
will leave the gaurds if they aint needed, might see if i can find those dust catchers somewhere else
