There are some 140 mm fans that fit in 120 mm fan positions with adapters, and they can push equal air at lower rpm. See

Maybe this same principle (using an adapter) can be used to add a larger, quieter fan to the Infrant NV/NV+?
Also, there are a lot of things that can improve noise for a given fan size: using a good fan design. See silentpc review as already suggested and http://quietpcusa.com/index.html. Also, minimize turbulence to reduce noise by making sure that there are no obstructions (grills etc.) within an inch of the fan's blades on the side that air come out of: this can be done using spacers if necessary (this is just one bit of info that I think I understand correctly from silentpcreview and elsewhere after months of searching to quiet my pc, not a thought original to me).
