what is your definition of 'quiet'? There is such a thing as frequency
dbA values mean little to the average person

personally I use delta afb1212sh's in my system, undervolted to 5v, which I find 'quiet', as I'm a frequency whore
I have a relative who prefers a pair of whiny panaflo's as they don't sound as 'loud'

On topic, one of the better fans I have played with was an HEC fan with a .18A rating at 12v. It is not powerful (I won't venture guess at an airflow figure), but neither is it 'loud' or 'whiny', and at 7v its unnoticeable (though correspondingly weak). My take on it is that it would do well on a heatercore such as Cathar's Quad fan (at 12v at least)
