(im sorry if this is in the wrong category i couldn't find one for cases)
1st of all can i replace the hardrive block because i like the one in the cooler master haf x (http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2010/05/coole...) ilike the quick release personal preference

2nd whats the best fan placement to get the best airflow in a NZXT source 210 case i will be using noctua fans because they are good and quiet and keep in mind i will be getting dust filters to go on the outside of the case. so if i put a 120mm inside then i will put a 120mm or a 140mm on the out side.

Note: here is the case https://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/117-source-210-elit...

thanks for reading

You want this format for fans in any case:

Front/ bottom/ side: intake
rear/ top: exhaust

Side fans are generally not needed and sometimes even mess up airflow and make the case hotter.

Do not install any fans on the outside of the case.

Don't forget that a computer does not need more than 3 fans to keep cool.

1 front intake
1 top exhaust, and one rear exhaust.

Anything more just adds noise and doesn't improve cooling.
