200mm fans?

A recent trend in large cases coming out now seem to be to stick a 200mm fan on top or as the intake. Given the huge size, these should be able to move significant amounts of air while being effectively inaudible, but are there any aftermarket fans that people would recommend? My housemate is getting a new case soon and he's been eyeing up a few with giant fans. Since he's jelous of my near-silent rig he wants it as quiet as possible.
Would most stock fans at that size be quiet enough while pushing decent air?

Antec's 200mm big boy is impressive in terms of silence. In vertical position at low position its near inaudiable, does not generate any vibration and you only hear light ticking few inch away from the hub. They are pricey but should be quite well available alone or with the cases.
