Sheila I named it as such in reference to Red vs. Blue. I have an NZXT Phantom (original) and this thing weighs at least 40 lbs. So, it's a tank.

I've personally never dealt with Corsair SE fans, but I have personally spent over that amount on fans. Albeit, I've changed out all the fans for color scheme purposes way too many times, but I can assure you, spending that kind of money goes a long way when you get high quality fans like Cougar. They push a great amount of air, they're absolutely silent, and they last forever.

You guys should totally do the aftermarket air cooler video! I'm actually in the throws of putting together a mATX build and debating whether or not to go with an aftermarket air cooler. The CPU is an i7 4790k, and I do intend to overclock it eventually. Since I am going to overclock it, I am also debating whether or not to go with a custom water loop. The case is a Thermaltake Core v21, so I will definitely have the space. Anyway, I think a video over aftermarket air coolers would be interesting.

There is another company called Cougar. They make fans with hydraulic dynamic bearings, which last 300,000 hours and are dead silent. I have these fans on my NZXT Phantom build, and I can't hear them at all. I believe they are rated at 17.9 dBA, so if you're okay with paying for Corsair Quite Series fans, you should really go with some Cougar fans. Word of warning, the fans that do not have LEDs are either orange with black accents or black with orange accents. Hope this helps in some way. Cheers.
