Hmmm...I have 7 fans and they really aren't that loud...I have the TT silent fans though, and they are really silent, oh wait, I forgot my psu, that brings my total to 9 fans and my comp is almost as quiet as my laptop when its fans are running. That case is cool too, it's a full tower and that's what's needed these days. I love my server case, so big....so heavy....
