So this is my rig.
I want to replace the Fan 1 and Fan 2. I was thinking on buying Corsair AF/SP series.
I know that for case fans, it's recommended to get AF series, but I've read in corsair's site, that incase that it is an intake fan near the HDD cage, SP series are better since there is not so much space for airflow, therefore static pressure is better.
But, my cage is not full of HDDs, just 1, wouldn't the AF be quite good aswell?

I'd like to go with 2 AF series (quiet editions) so that I can be able to get a Twin Pack to save some money, and so that I can be able to get LED ones, but if the performance of the AF near my drive cage is so minimal, I might think of getting 1x SP (to replace Fan 2) + 1x AF (to replace Fan 1).

PS. Since it's the first time I post a photo using the forum code option, I give another link to the photo to be sure you guys can see it :p http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/sanatori0/media/20131113_153109_zpsa0c18ff7.jpg.html
PS2. Sorry for posting in Graphics/Display, don't know how to move it now :p :(

I knew that already bro. I just want to know if an AF fan will do well in position #Fan 2 since it's near Drive cage where Corsair suggests getting an SP fan.

From Corsair's site:
For high restriction areas like hard drive cages or in other tight spaces where there’s less air volume, check out our Air Series SP models of high static pressure fans.

Is my HDD cage with only 1 HDD as seen in the picture, considered a high restriction area?
