Vantec Stealth 80mm Double Ball Bearing Silent Case Fan - Model SF8025L

Pros: Cheap .. Quiet .. and moves a decent amount of air
All I could really ask for

Cons: - none -

Pros: Solid case with with good construction and good air flow.

Cons: Fans with 4 pin molex connections
Drive caddys are cheap plastic trays, but did you want perfect case for half the price any other one ?

Pros: It is a fan, it moves.

Cons: I bought this fan because of all the great reviews stating how quiet it was. I bought it for an HTPC system. This fan is not quiet, I can hear it across the room.

Pros: Good fan, quiet, works as advertised. Even when doing overburn tests and with the fan at max speed it is quieter than most fans.

Cons: N/A

Other Thoughts: The fan is standard thickness.. I bought it to replace a thinner 80mm fan, so I had to do some engineering tricks to get it to fit in the thin space. Not the fan's fault :) It is the standard thickness.

Pros: I've picked up several of these over the last few months and they are really quiet. They cost a bit more than your standard fan, but it's worth it.

Cons: They should ship with rubber washers or spacers to isolate fan vibration from the chassis. Not a big deal - I made my own.

Pros: quiet, keeps my gtx 550ti cool enough to overclock without problems

Cons: more expensive than similar sized fans, but worth it imo.

Other Thoughts: bought to replace the modular case fan when i upgraded my psu.

Pros: I have (4) of these which have been in use off and on for the past (10) years (yes, a decade). They still work as well as ever and are a nice balance between air flow and noise. Gotta love ball-bearing fans. Included 4-pin to 3-pin adapters come in handy as long as you don't mind losing RPM monitoring.

Cons: Not quite silent, but close enough considering the CFM output and ball-bearings. Acceptable fan noise for all but the quietest environments.

Other Thoughts: I recently bought a pair of Silenx fans which are the quietest fans I have ever owned. If you want truly silent fans I would suggest some sort of fan speed control or something with a lower dBA rating.

A cheap alternative to a fan controller is to use small switch-mode DC power supplies/chargers (6-9V, 500-1000mA). Thrift stores usually have them for a dollar or so. Just mind the polarity and power.

Pros: Replaced a power supply fan with this one. Super quiet - I turned on just the power supply (shorting the pins) to test some other fans, and I started troubleshooting my pin shorting because I couldn't hear the PSU fans turn on. It was just that quiet.

Cons: Nothing

Other Thoughts: If you plug it in to a 2-pin connector, it will run full blast.

Pros: Spins smoothly, obviously a good bearing. Can connect to 3-pin fan connector or 4-pin molex.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Bought to replace a case fan that reviewers said would be loud, but they were clearly on crack. Now it's a spare. Just hand-spinning it is enough to tell that there is very little resistance--it will operate quietly at a high RPM. Nice to have this around in case a fan fails!

Pros: Nice quiet fan. Replaced a broke fan and the difference of having a working fan over a broken fan isn't noticeable. this thing makes practically 0 noise.

Cons: None so far.
