I'm looking at improving the airflow on my case, and at the same time getting some quiet fans to replace one noisy one I've currently got. Anyone got recommendations on the quietest fans (and where to buy them), and is it more efficient to have all them sucking cold air in, all blowing hot air out, or a mixture of both?

I've currently got one on the side (a Cooler Master thingy... pretty quiet, I think it's about 20-ish dB) plus a noisy bugger at the back, and a spare slot - it's these 2 rear ones I'll be buying. The side fan brings air in, and the rear fan sucks outwards.
