Would suggest you look at the Delta Tri blade fans at Sidewinder pc. 75cfm @ 34dba isn't a loud fan. And allows more room for performance when desired, or by undervolting, lower noise is also possible.

Now a Vantec tornado 80mm X 38mm IS loud, but then it's 55dba not 34dba. Not to mention the high pitched nature of the 55dba noise, that's loud.

Not being able to hear if a rig is on is NOT a need.

Just another further form of "net ego".

And if you yourself want the very lowest noise possible Cathar, then you may wish to take a look at the Noiseblocker SX2 Pro 120mm fan. 64cfm @ 26dba. But hard to find and expensive when you do.......at least in the US.

Only site I know of that has them in north america is this: www.mutepc.net

Strangly I find that the site sometimes comes up in french as it's canadian. But when that happens I just retype direct into the toolbar to get the english version.
