Well, I'm wondering, how accurate the specs listed by the manufacturers are in general??

Some are pretty accurate; delta, sunon, sometimes Vantec, silenx, and panaflo are usually pretty good. TT and a bevy of other manufacturers have been "cheating" for so long that it's hard to trust their ratings now.
 
may be hard to trust it to the "n"th degree, but I would say its pretty accurate. Good airflow, very low db, would be hard to believe that on an 80mm fan, but since its 120 it could very possibly be true.
 
78cfm with just 21dB is possible... about 30 feet away ;)
Because there are no standards for how sound levels are measured in fans, manufacturers can say pretty much any level they want and get away with it. TT always exagerates specs on their fans, so if you're looking for fans that will actually give you 21dB, head over to silentpcreview.com and look at their recommendations (note that TT has no fans recommended ;)).
 
The only TT fan that I believe the ratings on are the white ones with the open sides. And even then they are a tinsy bit higher then what they say.

The Nexus 120mms (or YateLoon Orange...they are the same fan) are rated:

22.8 dBA
36.87 CFM
1000 RPM

I believe Nexus and YateLoon on these fans...cause I have three of them in my case and I can't hear them.
 
Well, I own three of those fans, cooling my 120.3 radiator. They definitly push that much air, but 21db is a damn dirty lie. They're just middle of the road in loudness. Not a stealth but not a delta

would 26dB(double the fans = +3 to decibels)+ the added noise of not running them in open air account for how loud they are?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811999122 the db on that fan imo is prefectly reasonable/beliveable, but not the thunderblade being 21db
 
I currently have 2 of those tt thunderblades on my hsf...i can't say they are silent, they do have a slight wrrrrrr sound to them, but i can't here them over the 2 80mm fans in the front of my case. And they do move alot of air.
 
i gave up on silent case myself, after im done if things go right the tally in my chieftec dragon will be 17 fans 4 being 120mm H1C's and the fan i linked to, 2 80's my otes fan and 10 50mms(not going to bother explaining them right now, just that they move 12 cfm at 28dB, we will see when they arrive tho) i dont mind the sound of the panaflos, but i may need to slow down the H1C's once i get it, my M1A at 12v is fine and i dont see the H being much louder
