Hey, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I couldn't find any other one that was more related. I'm looking for help cooling a C70 case, this is how I think I'm going to do it:

Blue = NZXT FZ-140mm Blue LED (RF-FZ140-U1)
-140mm
-83.6 CFM
-0.81 mmH2O
-24.54 dBA
Red = Corsair AF120 Performance Edition (CO-9050004-WW)
-120mm
-63.47 CFM
-1.1 mmH20
-30 dBA
The remove label is for the top harddrive bay, I would be keeping the bottom one and it's fan.
In case you were wondering this is much build. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/W5M5
How would you do it? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Be more specific: what do you mean "how would you do it?"

If you're wondering about the most efficent airflow setup for your fans I would have the front and bottom fans as intake and the top and rear fans as output.

Hot air naturally rises. With the exception of unusual configurations, the general rule of thumb is cold air in the front, side, and bottom, with hot air out the top and back. That hot air that's leaving your case is something you want to stay away from your case.

Oops I forgot to put the air flow arrows on, the 3 on the bottom of the case would be in ad the other 3 out, what I mean by "how would you do it" is very plain and simple, how would you set up the fans in this case, also what fans would you use?
I've also been thinking about ditching this case and going for the 500R, it seems to be a better case to me.

Do what ever you feel comfortable with. Your planned set up actually looks quite good. Having an intake on the front and bottom and an outtake at the back and top will work quite well because of the way hot air flows naturally. The fans you want to use will also work very well for what you want. The AF-120s are excellent fans. I like your set up very much, so much in fact I might do this for my next build, just a different color of led fans :p
