You should get better cooling with more fans. One of the biggest advantage of more fans, is that you can run them slower and still maintain good airflow, and slower means quieter. Your computer will be as loud as your loudest fan, usually your processor or videocard fan.

And you get what you pay for with case fans. The $8 special will not be as quiet as a $15-20 fan. I recommend pabst or thermal take fans and always ones with adjustable speeds.
