Can anybody recommend Anti-Vibration Pads/Screws that are 5ish dollars and enough of them for 4 fans. They need to go on 2 120mm and 2 140mm. I would like if they were easy to install and they should be black or red if they are pads.

Ace/True Value hardware, they have a GRIP of tiny rubber washers. 

 

They also carry vinyl ones. If you combined the two (one of each) then you can get the full absorption from vibration. Your build quality will also determine your outcome for vibration noises. A well build case shouldn't run into those issues, if so VERY rarely and I'd be questioning the case manufacturer if it came out of the box with vibration noises from properly installed fans.

I particularly got some wing nut type washers made of a steel alloy and anodized black. A little bit of blue rtv lightly applied to the washers on one side along with the screw threads will also reduce vibrations and possible failure points. 

 

I use blue rtv on ALL of my screws and parts that are mechanical on my case. It helps lock the screws in and avoid loosening or backing out which are generally the vibration noises. 

 

Try it. Tell me what you think of BlueRTV. :) The only thing I wish that would change was the color. The quality is amazing.
