Phantom 410 worth upgrading fans?

[xXCrossfireXx]

So I thought that maybe in the future I'd upgrade the fans in the Phantom 410 to Noctua fans, since they use an SSO bearing, making them quiet and long lasting.

But I thought, well, is it worth it to shell out 40 dollars and replace the two 120mm fans in my case with NF-F12s, plus 25 dollars to get an NF-A15?

It seems like a lot, but I really like quiet computing, especially since I prefer speakers rather than headphones for sound. Also I'm not sure if the fans in the Phantom 410 have sleeve bearings or not, because if they do it may possibly be worth it to upgrade so I don't have to upgrade in the future.

What do you guys think I should do?

If you have the budget then go for it. Usually the NZXT fans aren't terrible but for the price you pay for the chassis and at the price point they come when bough separately they are worth it(when in the bundle). Read more into the fans that come with your chassis here. There is a V2 out from a while back which happens to use rifle bearings for it's motor.

I wouldn't compare anything towards a Noctua simply because them Austrians engineer their fans to be the most silent thing out there. In retrospect, I'd say you're paying for what you get. R&D by Noctua are reflected in their product range and the end users that can vouch for them. If you're worried about color scheme, there is the industrial and Redux range of fans by Noctua. If you're looking for near similar silence, you may go with Swiftech Helix fans that double as radiator and case airflow fans.
