Hey,
I'm probably going to be buying the Antec Lanboy Air for my build, and if I do, I'm going to max out the number of fans possible, which is 15.
It comes with 5 and to fill all the available places I chose the cooler master sickleflow 120mm fans, 10 of them. I'm just wondering if they will all fit, or do I have to buy slimmer fans?
Also, would I have to buy extra things like fan controllers?
Thanks!

The case already comes with plenty of fans.
More fans do not cool, they only increase case airflow, and your case should have plenty.
I suggest you try the stock cooling first.
Then take the case panels off and direct a house fans at the innards.
If your cooling improves significantly, then more case fans might be in order.

Adding more fans is obviously more expensive, and will increase the noise your pc generates.
A cpu and gpu is built to tolerate a fair amount of heat.
If needed, they will downclock to prevent damage.
If your parts get a bit hot, but are below dangerous levels, I suggest you ignore the problem.

Save the $100 you might spend on fans, and add it to your budget for a graphics card, cpu or ssd.
