It is a hard thing to do, advising someone on a product like they fans as a lot depends on the budget, how quiet they want them, how many there will be, etc, etc. If you could give a few more details maybe we could come up with some better answers.

I am afraid though that for your budget you won't get the better fans that work with less noise like the Noctua or the Scythe Gentle Typhoons etc. There are many fans that do fall inside your spend so it is just a case of finding some that suit. Do you have a colour scheme in mind and are you wanting any LEDS ? Have a look here as this is where I go for a lot of my gear :

I would suggest that you require a speed of about 1500rpm.

Thanks. Will call him tomorrow. As I said above I have a Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 case and I can see PWM fans made by them on his site.
