IMO, I think the stock Antec Tri-Cools are Cr*p. I replaced them with these Yate Loons:

I realized that there are some of them that have switches, does the replacement work with the switch?
How many of them are in the case that I can replace, I might as well replace it all since it's so cheap.
I'll 2nd the Yate Loons D12SL-12. I got them at Jab-tech for 2.90$ each. They don't have a hard switch like the Antec Tri-cools but if your motherboard supports it, you plug the 3 pin into the motherboard and control the fan speed via software.
For me, at least, on full speed, the Yate Loons push about as much air as the Antec set on high (based on my temps) but they sound about the same as the Antec on medium. On 75%, the YL sounds pushes as much as a medium Antec and is as quiet as an Antec on low.
The only downside on the YL is some QC problems so you might want to get 1-2 extra to be able to pick and choose.
Another thing you can do for that back fan you're talking about is install some rubber screws to make sure that it's not vibrating against the metal case.
There are probably slightly better fans to get for better air flow/noise, but the D12SL-12 is very good bang for your buck.
