To be completely honest, 280mm is not a very common size for fans. At 240mm, it offers a good combination of pressure and noise level. Going higher you loose air pressure which is vital to the function of heatsinks ie more pressure, more contact, more heat transfer. I know I have grown attached to many of my old parts and mods but compatibility is not necessarily a good trade off for efficiency.

In many situations the look of your case as with all cosmetics should be the last consideration of your build. You should always prioritize efficiency, stability, and durability above all else. Will it work, will it do so without additional issues, and how long will it last. Once you find one that meets these needs, then pick the ones from that based on preference and appearance. Besides, generally your looking at your monitor not your case.

I have the Corsair Air 540, it looks like an air conditioner but works very well and has plenty of airflow at low volume. Don't like the look, but I really don't look at it.

Built my system with FX9370 / ASUS rog CHVFZ / Kraken x61/ R9 290x xfire, fitted in a Mid sized Silverstone RL04... just to see if it could .....works well

No silly side window has fan mounts for 2x120 or 2x140mm on both top and side panel my rad is mounted in the top with about 1mm clearance between motherboard and fan attached to the X61 lol

The front has space for either 180/200mm fan or two 120mm 2x140 will fit if modded slightly .... I plan on removing hdd cages as use SSD's and mounting gfx AIO coolers at the front .

Also benefit of removing hdd cage can install nuch longer GFX ..a r9 290x has about 10 to 15mm clearance with hdd cage instaled

Also i may only cut away the cages directly in line with thecgraphics cards no decided on that though ...
