So. Here's the first thing I need help with. I have 15USD left before my budget on my first built caps out, and I need some case fans for my Apevia X-Sniper 2. It comes stock with one blue LED fan on the front, and that's it, so I need something for the back. I was going to go with the Xigmatek FCB something-something-something 120mm fans. They push 61.375 cfm at "under 20" decibels. Is this good for a fan? I can pick up 2 for 10USD at newegg, so that's a plus.
The main concern I have is on the side panel. There are mounting holes for either one 200mm fan or two 120mm fans. What should I eventually go with? The 200mm fan is larger and therefore quieter, but it doesn't push as much air as two 120mm fans. With the side fan(s), I eventually hope to have two front fans, two top fans, one bottom fan, and one back fan, all 120mm. This will obviously generate quite a bit of noise, which I am somewhat concerned about. I don't even know if I need that much airflow, but I am kinda new to this and want to keep things cool. Realistically, I would think that one top, one bottom, one back, one front, and something on the side (either two 120mm or 1 200mm) would do me fine.
But, I don't know that for a fact, and that's why I have turned to the community! If you can help me out with this, that'd be great and I'd really appreciate it! Thanks a million!
