Very loud and slightly inefficient too.
Try one of these for intake,
and one of these for exhaust.
Whilst on spec the exhaust fan above is pegged to be loud, just look at the amount of hot air it can suck out of your system, 76.3 CFM!!
If you have room to, or there is a fan hole there, put the intake fan between your HDDs and the front panel, the extra air being wafted over these will no doubt increase their lifespan.

Personally, I like the Antec 120mm fans. They can be purchased with either plain or LED display (I love the blue one) colors. My preference is the 3 speed models where you can regulate their speed with a little switch and they are very reasonable in price.

Surely mail order is an option? I buy almost all my hardware from eBay and the Egg etc. It rarely costs more than visiting the local computer shop.
