Silent computer - new fans and case - Page 2

I used to have a Fractal Design R2 with 2x120mm Sycthe Gentle Typhoons 1850rpm in the front and another in the rear which were controlled using a nice fan controller from NZXT. Had to have my ear up against the case to hear anything when they were on low (most of the time)

The best fan is no fan IMHO. http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/497-computer-audiophile-pocket-server-c-p-s-v3-zuma/

Don't think the OP is looking to revamp his computer, just wants new fans. So for a realistic suggestion, I'd put my money on the Xigmatek's AOS fans.

I have R3 with Noctua 120 fans with attenuators to make them run slower and the case is noise free.

I have an Antec Fusion Remote with 800rpm Scythe Slipstreams and a fanless Seasonic PSU.   I never hear it.

When Scythe/Cougar often have their fans discounted, and when they do they go for ~4-7$ each.  

 

I currently am using 6 of these and I'd be pressed to hear any noise when they are powered low.  Not exactly the cheapest, but I'm sure they are cheaper than Noctua:
