Should I wait for the DC42's PCB carriages or go Robotdigg?

Steppers are not defined 12v or 24v so good to go in both.

However, I like a quiet machine (now 12v quiet corsair SF450 power supply and quiet 40mm noctua fans. Can't hear the power supply or fans, sitting next to it. Printer without enclosure) . So I am looking into those aspects before changing to 24v , preferably with blower fans since I had great results with those. But the cheap ones are noisy.
Changed to 24V with a set of 12V silent fans as well. You can get a small DC-DC converter and feed the 12V to the center pin on the fan selector jumper. Which allows you to run constantly on and pwm controlled fans from a different voltage.

Can you tell me what your quiet setup (power supply / fans /DC-DC converter) is? suppliers /links?
And thanks dc42 for clearing the specs of upgrade out

Looks to me like the Drylin N series only has 2 holes spaced at 28mm apart on the centre line.
Drylin T look interesting but they are huge
Running NW-02-27-P, two 20mm single holes in line. Having a friend machine an adapter to 20mm x 4 M3 so I can use any standard robotdigg/long carriages. Ends up being about the same height as a standard MGN-12. Maybe a little shorter. http://www.igus.com/wpck/3592/drylin_n_NK_02_27
I have samples, I really like them.
I'm on 24V and everything is near silent other than the e3d v6 fan- I don't use a fan for PETG. Also my electronics stay very cool as it's typically cold as f**k in my office.
Other trick with 12v fans on 24v is just set the maximum PWM frequency to 50% and you've got right around 12v. That or wire them in series.
