I just got an Antec P150 and it has spots for 2x92mm fans. Which 92mm fans do you guys recommend for having the best cfm to dba ratio? And also, where could I get them in SoCal?
 
If you are paranoid about shopping online then you wont have much of a selection off line in the retail world. You will be limiting yourself to mainly Antec and other bling bling fans. Frys or Compusa are you best bet. I think thank Frys actually has Vantec Stealth fans. They are pretty good.

But if you have the balls to shop online then the Panaflo LIA fans are always good. SilenX are also okay, but they are like three times the money.
 
I'm not paranoid of buying online. I just didn't want to pay the horrendous shipping charges.
 
Well, Kevboy, the sad truth is that most of what you hear IS the air moving. So if you want higher airflow, you have to deal with more overall noise.
 
For my friends P150 build, I got a pair of Zalman ZM-F2's, you can run them at 7v@20db which isn't too bad. I think they're still a little loud at 20db (thats me though) so I would of gotten a fan controller but he didn't mind at all. Just remember you don't need 1000CFM fans running through your case, I run all my fans at 7v and I get the same temps that I do at 12v. Also about shipping, SVC is in SoCal so you don't really have to worry about expensive shipping charges, the ground shipping gets from wherever they are to my house in LA in about 2 days TOPS..

SVC is actually in NorCal (I used to buy stuff from their local store).
