noisy ass fan!

[Master Mind]

when i bought my matrix case it only came with a 120 fan in the rear, so i bought another 120 thermaltake fan for the front. the front fan is extremly noisy, you cant even here the rear one. is this because it is a loud fan or is it because the air is being sucked through the mesh at the front of the case making is noisy? also i might change it to a LED fan, blue one, so if anyone knows of a quiet blue LED 120mm fan, please let me know.

thanks

The way you mounted the fan could be the problem there. If it was slightly loose it would simply rattle away. For some extra quiet blue led 120mm fans Antec has those as well as other things. They are usually the brand seen in retail stores like Circuit City, Staples, Target, and others. Newegg always manages to carry them for about $5 cheaper then the stores. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835129033
