The Panaflos are hard to come by in Sweden but Papst can generally be found here. If you follow the link to the page with listed fans and their cfm ratio you'll see that Papst fans rate very high. I have never seen such good design on the fan blades anywhere and this is what contributes to their low noise.
They are available with both ball and sleeve bearing (more cfm's usually mean ball bearing). I've used their low noise 80, 92 and 120 mm fans and find them unbeatable.

Of course the 7V trick might do it for you but you still won't beat the cfm/noise ratio of the Papst fans.
