Not bad, but you're missing a bunch. Here are more from my previous post on horizontally-mounted 140 mm candidates:

Ball Bearing
  • BGears B-Blaster BG01565
  • Two Ball Bearing
  • 1800 RPM
  • Koolance FAN-14025HBK
  • Two Ball Bearing
  • 2200 RPM

Rifle Bearing (Sleeve Bearing but allegedly lubricated between top of shaft and fan bottom)
  • NZXT FN-140
  • 1300 RPM
Proprietary Bearings / Bearings We Know Little About / Marketing Gibberish
  • Aerocool Shark Series EN55451
  • Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB)
  • 800 RPM with included adapter, 1500 RPM default
  • BitFenix Spectre BFF-SCF-14025KK-RP
  • Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB)
  • 1000 RPM
  • Enermax T.B. Silence UCTB14
  • "Twister" Bearing
  • 750 RPM
  • GELID Solutions FN-FW14B-12
  • "Nanoflux" Bearing
  • 1200 RPM
  • Noctua NF-P14-FLX
  • "SSO" Bearing
  • 750 RPM & 900 RPM with included adapters, 1200 RPM default
  • Noiseblocker NB-BlackSilentPro PK-1 / PK-2 / PK-3
  • "NanoSLI" Bearing
  • 700 / 1200 / 1700 RPM (each RPM is a different fan)
  • Thermalright X-Silent TR-X-SILENT140
  • "Liquid State" Bearing
  • 900 RPM
Sleeve Bearing
  • Cooler Master R4-S4S-10AK-GP
  • 1000 RPM
  • Evercool Red Scorpion EC-RSF-14
  • "Ever Lubricate" Bearing (I'm guessing it's sleeved because the name focuses on lube and lube is a major design component of sleeve bearings)
  • 1200 RPM
  • Noiseblocker NB-BlackSilentFan XK1 / XK2
  • "NB-Longlife" Sleeve Bearing
  • 800 / 1100 RPM (each RPM is a different fan)
  • Prolimatech Blue Vortex PTCH-BV-140
  • 1000 RPM
  • Same cooler that ships with Prolimatech Armageddon but is available separately
  • Scythe Kaze Maru 2 SM1425SL12SL / SM1425SL12L / SM1425SL12M / SM1425SL12H
  • 500 / 800 / 1200 / 1700 RPM (each RPM is a different fan)
  • Scythe Kaze Maru SY1425SL12L / SY1425SL12M
  • 500 / 1200 RPM (each RPM is a different fan)
  • Sharkoon Silent Eagle SSE-79098
  • 800±19% RPM
  • Thermaltake Turbo A2491
  • 1000 RPM
  • Xigmatek XSF-F1452
  • 1000 RPM
  • Yate Loon D14SL-12 / D14SM-12 / D14SH-12
  • 1000 / 1400 / 2000 RPM (each RPM is a different fan)
Unknown Bearing
  • Antec TRUEQUIET140
  • 500 & 800 RPM with included switch
  • Attempts to reduce vibration in frame w/ built-in "silicon" grommets
  • Apevia Back & Green CF14S-BG
  • 1200 RPM
  • Pre-installed fan grill can be removed
  • Cooljag Everflow FB14025SL
  • FB14025SL is the number listed on a frozencpu item. However, frozencpu posts information about a 120mm fan in the details.
  • According to Cooljag, FB14025SL is the mfg. # for model #R12145SL. But their information on R12145SL is not helpful.
  • Lian Li CF-1410B
  • 1000 RPM
  • Pre-installed fan grill can be removed
  • Lian Li BS-05
  • Lian Li measures less noise and higher air flow but less static pressure than CF-1410B
  • Pre-installed fan grill can be removed
  • Phobya Nano-G 14 Waterproof PH-79031
  • 1000 RPM
And that's just what is readily available on major US etailers and doesn't have LEDs, a thickness other than 25mm, or PWN functioning.

Also, unless you are comparing models from the same manufacturer, the noise stats you list are useless; every company uses a different method to measure noise.
