From what it looks like you can hold two 120mm at the top. I would have them as your outlet fans, blowing all the hot air coming from your motherboard, NB, etc out of your system. You can also put two 120mm fans at the side of your case. I Would recommend that you config these as intake so that it keeps your SB and GPU cool.

Remember bottom half intake (front and side)
Top half outlet (hot air rises so top and exhaust)

hope this helps :)

Enermax also makes really good fans; I use some on my heatsink. Arctic Cooling also makes good fans, they excel for their price bracket and in their performance-quietness ratio. (Their fans are also really quiet when place up against a radiator or heatsink.)
