Anyone know of come good quiet fans for the lights?

I am getting tired of my B-52 bombers buzzing/whirrring all the time.

I am looking for some high flow 80mm fans and also maybe some 120's later when I do my home made retro, if I go with a sealed cabinet.

Vantech stealth. Both sizes. Very quiet. There are some others that are maybe even better, but the VS are very good and very quiet.

I use these they have a good high flow and they are quiet. I can hardly hear them with my hood open.

Oh yea... these are amazing. I have them in clear acrylic on my PC. The extra fins really make the difference. Good choice.

Its a soft "c" , sheesh!

I know about the Vantech Stealths but they also get thier quietness from slower speeds, hence dont push as much air. I also know that it is one of those things where you cant really have your cake and eat it too, BUT, there is also that fine line, that crosses air movement and low noise. Panflows are supposed to be `da bomb too. Also helps to get advice from actual users.

K, thanks for the replies, will check the newegg link, thanks.
