Looking to replace my case fans with more quite and sleek looking fans also one for my CPU cooler. Been awhile since Ive been looking to replace fans so whats the deal with them now and days. Are GELID's still the best? Im looking for a good trade off between silence and air flow.

I won a Noctua 120mm at an Epic, and it's been a real pleasure to own. I'm completely hooked on their products. Very high end materials, attention to detail, and so far as I can tell they sit on the high end when it comes to noise:performance.
The only issue is they are a bit drab, but if you are like me and you never look inside of your case it doesn't matter.
Thats what I was considering Thrax. Just in white.

I want this one ...it can be trained to be quiet, has stellar pressure rating & is pwm fan.
I love the high pressure ratings of the Akasa fans & I only use pwm fans since my latest mobo. If you really want to stick with Newegg though I've been having good luck with the cougars as well. They are pwm & otherwise. And, it doesn't only come in ugly-ass orange, it comes in ugly-ass black as well.
All of the 120 cougars at the egg are here.
One last thing. If you'd like to hear some of the above mentioned fans from youtube video's that can be done here. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?286088-Fan-Testing-Round-12-NB-e-loops-Cougars-Noctua-Piranha-GT-AP-45s.
Ok I'll say it. If you want the quietest damn fan just get a Gentle Typhoon.
