You can spend your money at www.quietpc.com like I did and when i got
their
fans home I found that they are cheap chinese fans with one difference.
A 68 OHM 2 WATT resistor in series with the +12V (RED) wire.
So Simple DUH!
Goto Radio Shack (or RAT SCRAP)
Purchase a BAG of 68OHM 2 WATT resistors and now you can now
make all of your fans quiet. Just cut the +12V RED WIRE going to your
fan and solder or tape (your choice) I prefer solder and heat shrink
tubing.
And your fan will become complete silent. Does your fan still move of
course it
does just cuts down the speed around 1000~ rpm or so. And if you want
more
info please go take a course in basic electronics.
