Korean cooling company Zalman are world-famous in their field, and the Zalman ZM-F1 shows that they can produce good quality, simple and inexpensive cooling fans as well as monsters of CPU coolers! The F1 is Zalman's 80mm quiet case fan, and this "plus" version comes with anti-vibration mounting pins which significantly dampen low-frequency vibrations from the fan which would otherwise be transmitted into the PC case and be amplified.
The fan also comes with an RC56 in-line resistor which allows you to drop the running speed of the fan, significantly reducing its noise level whilst still providing a respectable amount of airflow.
