Advantages: Tri-speed setting, noise is minimal
Disadvantages: could be cheaper

Bought mine from Newegg.com. Th Antec Tricolor 80mm fan is one of the best fans for PCs that you could get. My PC is overclocked so it needs all the air circulation and cooling it needs. I have installed 6 of them in one machine and are still running like a charm for over 3 years now. The 3 speed control on this fan is really a neat feature. It makes you choose from performance-to-noise ratio. Maximum speed is rated at 2500 rpm (what I'm using right ...
...you could set it at minimum speed - 1500 with a 18dba. At that setting you can barely hear it running standing 4-5 feet away. This product is of superior quality. Normally, ordinary pc fans tend to get noisy after 2+ years of use. Not this one. Fact is, all of my 6 have been performing like the time I freshly installed them 3 years ago. This may be atleast 3X the price of ordinary ones but definitelt with the speed control feature and durability ... Read review

Advantages: Quiet, good at cooling
Disadvantages: -

...noise PCs then you'll know Zalman products. This one is a 120mm fan, and the general idea behind such technology is to have large blades rotating at fewer rpms therefore being quieter. At 12V this fan operates at approximately 1800 RPM very quietly, but when using the RC-56 resistor the fan slows down to 900 RPM and at a near inaudible 20dBA. The fan also comes with four silicon fan mounts which replace normal screw mounts and aborb vibration and ... Read review
