Just thought I'd share this really quick.  These fans have hydro-dynamic bearings and are rated for 300,000 hours, which is like... 34 years.  The main point is that they are nearly silent.  They're 17.9dBa, and I can attest to it.  Put a couple of these in my brother's computer, and you don't even know that it's on anymore.

I assume several of you guys have PCs in your listening rooms for a variety of reasons, and lowering the noise floor is always a good thing.
