Any Good, Quiet 60mm Case Fans?

I have a Raidmax ITX-0907-BP ITX computer case that can accommodate 3 case fans: 1 x 80mm and 2 x 60mm. The 80mm fan's accounted for already, but 60mm fans are seemingly impossible to find with good (as in quiet) noise levels. The only supposedly quiet ones that I can find are made by SilenX, but looking through the reviews for their products it seems they pretty consistently have high failure rates, which is a no-go especially considering they're over $10 a pop.

The easiest solution is probably to swap the case for one that can accommodate larger fans, since "60mm" and "quiet" don't go together anyway, but I really don't want to add any more to my mountain of spare parts (especially a case), so... anyone have any suggestions? I don't need them to be whisper-quiet, but the last two I got (before I learned to appreciate dBA ratings) made my computer literally sound like a blow dryer.

Thanks in advance. :)

Will the fans be controled by the motherboard? or will they be at their highest at all times?

Highest at all times; the ITX board I have only has one 3-pin fan connector, and that's already taken by the front 80mm intake fan.
