What are the quietest but most effective fans you've all come across?

Nexus and Panflos both excellent and quiet fans.

For something cheap and cheerful take a look at the AKASA amber range. I found most fans to be quiet once you connect them to a fan controller. Wayne ][

Believe it or not,the standard heatsink+fan from amd xp3800 is very quiet.
Further more some 120mm fans running at 2000 rpm will be heard,but the ones that run below 1000rpm are also very silent. Papst at 1500rpm is also silent,just look for the cfm capacity and how much rpm. The lower the rpm and still good cfm the better.
