Sharkoon 1000's or 2000's

What's the better purchase for a silent as possible system:

Sharkoon Eagle 1000's

OR

Sharkoon Eagles 2000's with some zalman fanmates?

I think the 2000's would be too loud at stock, but not sure the 1000's push enough air? Thoughts people!

I got 3 of the 2000s (had 4 before I got the GTX) and run them with this fan controller:

At 2000 they are noisy, at 1000 with the controller they are not, I run mine at about 1300.... not too bad at all.

If you got a controller, then I would definately get the 2000s, that way you have full control and if at 1000 they are not cooling your machine down, you can always turn them up.

I have 3 x 2000's in my rig and yes at stock they are very loud.

I have the Scythe Kaze Master and run them at between 1000 and 1500 depending on the case temp.

They are very quiet at around 1000, but I went for the 2000's as then i know I have the extra air movement if I need it.

EDIT: Tom beat me to it
