htpc fan replacement

[cam88]

Hi im planning to replace 5 fans on a htpc, 3 case fans 1 psu fan and one cpu fan,


in the above pic you see the psu fan is the same size as the case ones, with 2 differences, the depth and the connector is 2 pin instead of molex format.

questions: 1.)does someone know where to get a low profile (80mm?) with a 2pin connector?

2.) which silent case fans would people recommend?

3.) which cpu fans or, hs+fan replacement (for AM2), ive seen a scythe mini ninja shuriken, which fits the 65mm gap, but is that worth it?

im looking for "silent" fans ofc, case is a antec nsk1480 btw, thanks for your help.

well its what the case was designed for 3 case fans and the standard psu and cpu fan, i unplugged the original antec case fans, but still hear noise from the psu and cpu, so it could be 2 fans, but if all the new ones are similar db, might as well replace them all.

modding sounds good for the 3pin, do they sell low profile?
