I have one x-silent 140 and four enermax 12cm "twister bearing" fans in my case. The x-silent is pretty quiet...and tested well at xbitlabs. Take a look at T.B.Silence Enermax 14cm. I'll probably try that one myself, but I couldn't find one locally.

Ive heard good things about the bitfenix specters, the 140mm come in black, white and a kinda smoked see through dark grey with a range of led colors.

The spec sheet says 60cfm @ 18db - £6.50 for the solid colors £8 for the smoked grey.

not sure as i have heard not so good things about the airflow in the case?

high CFM fans tho r a must you might need to sacrifice some noise tho

Yeah you can detach the blades on the Enermax "twister bearing"/"maglev" fans and wipe them clean. It does take some force to remove them, though.
