Hi guys,

I am currently using the stock fans on my Zalman Z11 case (apart from 1 extra i bought, CM BC120 Blue LED) and, although they're ok for cooling, they seem really noisy. I noticed this when recently i did a little work in the PC and forgot to plug back in the front and rear fans (140mm and 120mm respectively), and it was so much quieter. the roof fans, side fans, and GPU and CPU fans were all still running as well. This is why I am looking to replace them. A couple of things to note:

1. Preferably the 120mm fan will either be Molex powered or come with a Molex to 3-pin adapter, as the current rear fan is powered by Molex and my crappy mobo has no more 3-pin connectors available.

2. Again preferably both fans will have Blue LEDs not dissimilar to those on the Cooler Master BC 120 i mentioned earlier (http://www.appinformatica.com/imf/ventiladores-cooler-m...)

3. Finally the fans need to be reasonably priced, quieter than I've already got, but still give equal (or ideally better) cooling

Thanks Guys :)

Yeah lol and the two-pack makes the price come out to around $10/fan for Corsair fans, which is a great price.
