recomend case fans!

[johnnqq]

looks like im getting the sonata. i want to put a fan on low rpm anywhere i can so it has good airflow. ultimately i want the thing silent when im going on the internet and not really doing anything. what fans do you all recommend?

Panaflo L1A. You may also consider a fan controller so you can turn off fans when you are doing less stressful activities.

if i have like 4 case fans and they're all on the lowest settings, would i be able to hear them? my dell has got to be like 40-50 dbs...and thats just one 80mm fan...

Get a fan controller and 2 panaflo L1A fans. The sonata is only built to have 2 120mm fans in it. And with the thickness of those fans you will need to be sure to put the mother board in first as you won't be able to put it in after putting the fans in.

I cannot here my sonata right now with 2 L1A's in there and my vantec fan controller has them on the minimum.

Generally the biggest sources of noise are the video card cooler, cpu cooler and power supply (1,2 or a combination of all 3).

that's another thing. its either the 7000 alcu or the xp 90...and should i put an l1 on it?

i went to the thermalright site and it didn't give any information on nforce4 compatibility...did i just miss it or does it really not work with nforce4 motherboards?
