I have a Koolance lian li case with the 3 120mm fans on top. I looking to replace them as one is going bad and would like to go ahead and put some better fans in. I would like some that flow well but arn't to loud. System is only cooling a i7 at the moment. Thanks
 
But there sooooo ugly lol..I know those are good fans just dont know if I can put those in my all Black case on top.
 
with three fans up there i'd go for some low speed fans that run at 700-900 rpm, other wise the noise will add up.

like the Scythe SY1225SL12L and Scythe Kama Flow 2. The Gentle Typhoons and Nexus are very very nice, but not all black.

Some people like Noiseblocker NB Black, but i've had mixed success with their quality.
 
Another vote for Scythe GT1850's. If you can fit 38mm fans up there, grab some panaflos or san aces.
 
since these are going into the top of your case you may want to avoid sleeve bearing fans. anything running at ~1300 rpm and lower should be pretty silent and be able to push a decent amount of air if it's not restricted. I prefer ball bearing fans myself, but your best bet would probably be fluid type bearings for noise (rifle are probably the next most silent).
 
I replaced "all" the 120mm fans in my Antec 900 with Skythe SY1225SL12M fans. 68cfm @ 24db
 
Well I ended up going with Scythe S-Flex SFF21G 120mm Case Fan. The fans will be on a 10 way fan controler, I ment to add that to the original post. The original fans that came with the system were rated at 110 CFM. I dont need that much I have never needed to run it any where close to that high. I was happy with the ones that came in it. I dont have to have it super quiet I just want to hear it whinning or anything. One of the fans is going bad and just wanted to replace them all. I fugure 75cfm will be more then enough and if I turn them all the way down they should be pretty whisper.
