Hi Goldenears7

How much do you want to spend per fan and what size of fan are you looking for? I primarily use 120mm computer case fans from Antec or Yate Loon to displace air from my audio cabinet. I was blowing are left to right over my amps at the time and needed 8 total fans, 4 on each side. These are budget fans that are about $6 to $7 each. I got the Yate Loon fans from CoolerGuys and the Antec fans from a computer store by me who does comp case mods.

Here are some specs of the Yate Loon.

RPM: 1300 +/- 10%
CFM: 44.5
dB: 20.8

Now all these fans require an AC Adaptor and the appropriate power connectors.

The quietest fans that I've experienced are Nexus, Noctua and Scythe but the price per fan is $12 to $22 each. I had them in different PC rigs where the desktop was about a foot away from me and they were dead quiet.

good luck with the search
Parasound makes a cooling fan apparatus.
