Hello LLT. Today I helped a friend build his new computer and I was shocked at how quiet it was. Now I want my to be quieter. SO I think what I need to change the most is the 2 front fans. They are cooler master 120 sickle flow fans. The are not quiet even with the fan controller I have. I have them in the front of my NZXT tempest 210. I also think that my seagate hard drive is noisy, but I am not so sure about that. What I want to know from you guys/girls is what fans are quiet and provide some good airflow (fans that don't cost a lot, under 20 per fan). Also would buying some noise reducing foam for the side panel help?
I don't know if this information is needed but I have 2 3.5 inch hard drives in the drive bays. If you look as the case you should know why this might be an issue to airflow.
