Ah I see, might go with your suggestion of the 

Phanteks PH-F140SP_BK 140mm Case Fan

Since if I buy two its somewhat cheaper

As the title says I would like you to recommend me a case fan preferably from a company located in Canada so shipping isn't expensive. I checked out Cooler Master but the shipping is a little bit much so I would like to see other places to buy a good case fan from.

 

EDIT: Fan can be either 120mm or 140mm

If you want quality and can spare no expense, go Noctua. I love my Noctuas and I wish I could replace all my case fans with Noctuas.

Hmm, after comparing the prices from both of these from Canadian stores I might end up getting the Noctua's. Ironically its the Linus Tech Tips edition one as the price is just a bit more than the one Aytex recommended.

 

Any thoughts about my choices?

 

EDIT: Question the Nouctuas one says it runs on 

1500 RPM

but can you lower it/will it always be running at 1500 rpm all the time...?

They come with low noise adapters that lower the rpm and you can control their speeds if you plug them into a fan controller or your motherboard. 

Where are you putting the fans? What are your specs? Budget?

I plan on buying two fans and putting them both on the front end of my desktop since thats the only place that can hold it one will pushing air out other will be pushing air in or is it more beneficial for both fans to be pushing out in this case?

those phanteks fans are 3 pin, Noctuas fans are 4 pin so if pwm matters to you get the Noctuas. best to have both pulling air into the case, exhaust in the rear/top

Do you have any suggestions for 120mm fans then since top/rear only can fit that size.

My favorite 140mm fan is the Phanteks PH-F140XP, by far better sounding than the SP and others to my ear
