Hey everyone, just finished a new build using a Lian Li V1000 Plus case and am looking for suggestions on fan replacements. Since this case is faily open with the grate style design on the front, back its a little louder than I'd like.

I've got 3 120mm fans in it, front of the case blowing on the HDs, 120mm side fan that I flipped to be an intake and a 120mm rear fan that I flipped to be the exhaust (i have an artic Freezer 7 Pro cooler blowing right at the rear exhaust fan).

What after market fans would you suggest?

Easily the best range of fans out there...

I have an 80mm enermax enlobal case fan in my case - absolutely silent! I love it, and would recommend it to anyone. It does not push as much air as others, but it is awesome! It uses Magnetic bearings (so no physical contact), and you can take it apart very easily for cleaning. Here is a link to the 120mm and 80mm ones.
