You can get corsair SP120 or Corsair air series silent edition 140mm blue led fan (led color your choice)

The SP series is most suitable to bliw through HDD cage or heatsinks due to the higher static pressure.

See Noctua NF P12.
Nice fan, moves lot of air, dead silent even considering fact that it is placed on grill where other fans tend to loose their silence properties.

Also see Silverstone AP121 (Good for use as a input fan).

Although good enough but seriously the 4 in 1 pack of CM fans is not good because they have very feeble airflow & not capable of adding cooling capacity to your cabinet even if they are used in swarms

Then I will buy NF P12 and Silverstone AP121 :) thanks for suggestions :)

Although I have no Corsair fans but I have heard good things about them.
So may be you can wait to see if any user shows up for his review.

Else sticking to these is safe bet.

Check out other sites if they still retail noctua products. Flipkart is very overpriced.

Am using Corsair Air series silent edition 140 mm blue led fan. I have mounted it in the side panel and the noise is low. Have a decent air throw, better than my stock NZXT fans

there should an arrow in the fans which indicates the direction of air flow.

If you don't mind a little noise then best would be 2x CM SickleFlow X fans :
Cooler Master: SickleFlow X (Green LED)
