It depends on what size of fan can fit in your case?

Whats case are you using?

This fan will work fine. Point it so it shoots air inside the case

I've used a bunch of Antec Tri Cools. There's a 3 speed switch, depends if you want quiet or loud with more airflow. They have a few different coloured lights too. Think there's one with multi-coloured led's on the one fan, don't know how they look though.

These Thermaltakes's have a fan controller, can turn them down for less noise. Never tried one though.

The Noctua's are very quiet, have used NF-S12's and NF-R80's, can barely hear them running. No lights and kind of odd colours, but great fans if you are looking for some reasonably silent running.
