Hello all,
I own an old PC built by myself about 7 years ago. Core 2 Quad 9450, 4GB DDR2 RAM, Geforce 8800GS, an Antec TPQ 1000 watt PSW, etc all inside a Thermaltake Armor VA8000BWS case which is obviously discontinued.

I will be upgrading in the future but at this moment I need to reduce the noise of the fans. I don't overclock so everything is running at stock speed.
The case came with 2 120mm fans, one on the front and one on the bottom, and 1 90mm fan on the back next to the Power Supply. I am also using the stock Intel fan that came with the CPU.
I don't need anything extreme so I was thinking of buying the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for the CPU which I have seen was recommended for the price and quality.
And for the case I saw an article here at TH of the Aerocool Dead Silence Fans.

So my question is the following: If I buy these Dead Silence 120mm fans to replace the ones that came with my case, will I be able to install them or do I need a kit or something to make them fit in the acrilic that attaches to the case? I am asking because I have never installed new fans.
Also, I would like to know, if maybe it could also be the fan of the PSW the one that makes so much noise. If so, Can I clean it without risk of being injured? Or how can I make it quieter?
Thanks for reading this and all help will be greatly appreciated!
