My hard drives have been getting fairly warm as well as my cpu and hopefully the addition of more case fans will remedy this so i need some quiet case fans that push a decent amount of air budget is around £5-£10 per fan case accepts 5 120mm fans and one 140mm not really and preference of retailer free shipping and handling is preferred but not essential

Thanks for the sugestions

Those are probably more than what he wants to pay for. 

 

The white Gelids might be in your budget. If not, then perhaps Silentx fans?

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

Corsair fans are pretty far from quiet in general.

Check out Enermax fans. They definitely meet both criteria.

 

 

Also, Corsair fans are loud.
