I'm purchasing the NZXT Phantom 530 for my build, and this case supports the following fans:

Front 2x140mm/ 120mm or 1x200mm (1 x 200mm included)
Rear 1x140mm (included) / 120mm
Bottom 2x120mm
Side 1x140mm
Top 2x200mm/ 140mm or 3x120mm
Interior 1x120mm/140mm

I was going to leave the front as it is, and possibly the rear. Adding 2 200mm's on the top (specifically, these ones, and adding Corsair AF140 red led's on the side and possibly the back (not sure if I should just leave the one provided in or what for the back).

I would leave the bottom and interior clear (would remove the hdd cages for better airflow and the interior bracket attaches to the hdd cages so thats of no use to me anyway).


Can anyone advise me on:

- Should I leave the rear default fan in, or switch it for the corsair?
- Will the coolermaster 200mm's even be compatible on the top? I've read some stories on these forums about only NZXT ones being compatible for the NZXT Full tower cases, so I'm not sure if this refers to the 820 only or what? If it is compatible, within the next few months after my build, I'll probably replace the front too. Heard some great things about these coolermaster fans.
- Any better/cheaper 140mm fans you'd recommend for the side/back?


Bear in mind, black/red theme.

Thanks guys
