What are the quietest fans? Where can one get them? I have heard Papst fans are very good, but I can't find them. Maybe I am really missing something obvious here, but I just can't find 'em. The most important fans would be rated in this order: 120mm, anything larger than 120mm, 80mm, I don't personally need anything less. I would like to make a custom external box for a black ice extreme 2 radiator and so one large or 2 large fans (THAT ARE EXTREMELY QUIET) are necessary.

    Everyone will tell you Papst fans.
    Other than that almost all fans running at 7V are quiet :P
    Maybe you could try those Thermaltake Thunderblade BLUE led 120x120mm fans? I've seen some dude using them with his Black Ice Extreme II. No idea how loud they are, but they do look sweet.

    Do you know where to get the Papst fans or any other very quiet ones, please don't answer eBay, I've already been there. Right now they have a few 80mm fans but no 120mm+.
