I bought a gelid TC 120 mm computor case fan for my cabinet. 12V, variable speed, temp. controlled.
750rpm (22C) - 1500rpm (42C) 12-25.5 db
Not installed yet so can't tell you how good it is. Has a temp probe that turns the fan on at 22C or 72 deg Farenheit at 750 rpm and ramps up to 1500 rpm at 42 deg C at which time it is only supposed to be 25.5 db loud
I bought it at NCIX but any computer store should have it.

When I get it all together, tank and cabinet, I will tell you how it runs

I got a few Antec fans that have a 3 speed switch on them, in the winter I can turn them down and not hear them at all and in the summer if I need the extra boost I can take them to 11 or just the third highest speed.
