What a great person you are.

Anyway didnt see the inexpensive part.

Maybe the NZXT fans or the pure wings or redux fans.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

PWM, cheap and quiet generally don't mix very well. Cheap PWM circuits often emit clicking noises. Probably better to go with 3-pin ones.

 

You could try Scythe Slip Streams though, they are pretty nice.

Does anyone know of any good 120mm PWM fans that have good cooling and are very quiet

Generally speaking, "good cooling" and "quiet" don't often correlate. You'll have to define "cheap", because many low-cost PWM fans either don't spool up until voltage=loudness or the motor itself makes extra noise. If you've got SpeedFan or a supported mobo, you may not need PWM fans at all, as the fine control of 3-pin fans SpeedFan offers might be enough by itself.

 

IMO, the sweet spot for 120mm PWM fans is $15-25. You'll find a good assortment of airflow and static pressure fans in that range from Noctua, Cooler Master, Phanteks, Cougar and Gentle Typhoon. The outstanding beQuiet Silent Wings 2 are outside of that range on the northern end, but worth it.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.
