Looking for a really quiet 90/120mm case fan. Recommendations? Or is there a dB level I should be watching for?

Thing is I don't OC, and my CPU runs fairly cool. Plus I don't want to have to pay for a fan controller 
Not a bad idea though.

I did too... Even funnier, I was reading a tutorial on php.net and saw a comment from him today too. Well, I saw it today, but the comment was like 2 years old.  |

Costs a lot to use that approach, since you not only need to buy a fan, but then a fan controller too.
Cheaper to just buy a low DB fan. Many fans out there, that are especially design to be low noise. |
