Unfortunately that's not much bigger than a 120mm fan. Since my goal is to run it at very slow RPM this isn't really big enough. I'm thinking of the principles Big Ass Fans uses.
From what MonitorGuru posted it doesn't sound like there's a simple solution. Fans don't work so well with lead plates in front of them.
rchadd: Dampeners like those and special grommets aren't very good. If you really want to eliminate vibration then mount your fans on elastic suspension. For info on how to do this (or how to quiet down any PC component) check out: Silent PC Review Forums.

You need a beefy 120volt fan with large blades. These spin at a low speed so don't cause whining, yet with large blades can push through a lot of air. They also were mounted on the bottom of the case so you wouldn't hear them. The air came through the grills up closer to the top. Of course an AC fan could cause monitor interference unless you protect it with a lead plate between them.
