I'm looking for reasonably quiet blue LED case fans for my new system. I've been looking around and i narrowed it down to these 2: Coolermaster TLF-S12-EB 120mm blue LED (Airflow: 42.734 CFM, Noise level 22 dBA, rpm:1220) Antec Tricool 120mm Blue LED (Airflow: 39 / 56 / 79 CFM, Noise level: 25 / 28 / 30 dBA, rpm:1200 / 1600 / 2000 RPM). I'm getting a Silverstone TJ09-BW case which supports 5 fans. Personally i'm leaning towards Antec Tricool, i like the 3 speed option and it seems to have better airflow and it is quiet at low speeds. I don't think the Coolermaster will do the trick, even though it is very highly rated. Can you help me decided? Or recomend something else?

I know that Antec fans are good, but do you think 5 Coolermaster fans will be enough, i mean they got relatively low rpm and don't move as much air as Antec, their only advantage is that they are very quiet.

ok, i see. I'll probably go with Antec then, i'm getting a system that will produce a good amount of heat, fx-62 processor, 8800 GTS video card and so on, i think i'll be better off wit something that moves more air.
