a lot of people swear by these, but I'm not really a silent pc type, so I've never had one...

I have three of them in my PC. Very good fans, especially for the price. The only drawback is that it's a sleeve bearing, which brings me to my point.
Sleeve bearings are lubricated bushings. What this means is that if you mount the fan horizontally (fan blows up or down, north/south etc.) all the lubricant will go down because of the gravity. This leads to a lack of proper lubrication, causing the bearing to have a shorter lifetime.
