    80mm in e6 and e7, 60mm in e5 and eHD10.
    There are quiet but to answer your question I should compare both fans in the same conditions.
    For isolation – rubber.  I added some pictures to show it.

    I like the hard drive mount.  Will you have something similar for the DVD drive?

    Definitely test multiple fans.  For reference, most people use SilentPCReview to figure out what fan to buy.  They even have a nice [url=http://www.silentpcreview.com/article63-page2.html]list[/url] breaking them down.  You may notice that there are no 60mm fans listed.  This is due to the difficulty in finding any quiet 60mm fans on the market.  With how nice all your cases are, they beg to be “shown off”, rather than hidden away.  If they’re loud, this won’t be possible, though.

    With the shorter cases, you obviously can’t use 80mm fans, but what might be better is more fans spinning at slower speeds.  The eHD10 really comes to mind here.  I’m no expert on airflow, but I think the design might need some tweaking.  With 10 hard drives in there, it’s going to get warm.  I don’t know the direction of the 4 fans being shown, but I have trouble believing all drives are going to receive airflow from the fans.  Just my opinion here.
