    120mm case fan recommendations?

    Does anyone know of any good case fans for pure airflow? I just bought 12 GT's for my rads and I have 2 free spaces for a 120mm intake and a 120mm exhaust fan. I prefer the quiet fans with decent airflow.

    Ultrabook displays: Which resolution scales the best at 13.3 inch?
