i dont like the default exaust fan my case came with so i need to swap it out.. I got the Thermaltake overseer snow edition
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133213&cm_re=thermaltake_snow_edition-_-11-133-213-_-Product
i was just wondering what type to fan to throw on the rear exhaust. SHould i get one with high static pressure or high airflow? I was going to go grab one of the corsair fans at frys tomorrow but wasn't sure which to grab. I think from the bit of googling i did that i would want a high airflow model for the exhaust, NOT the static pressure one, correct? It seems SP models are more for intake or where you have to get through HD's or grills.
assuming thats the case; which one should i get? There Seems to be a high performance edition, and a quiet edition. Id like low noise but the CFM rating on the quiet is kinda low. Anyone tried them? Is the quiet ok for an exaust or should i get the high performance edition?
heres the stats on the high performance model
http://www.corsair.com/en/air-series-af120-performance-edition-high-airflow-120mm-fan
and the quiet model

and the LED model
http://www.corsair.com/en/air-series-af120-led-blue-quiet-edition-high-airflow-120mm-fan
HP is 63.47 CFM @ 30DB while the quiet is only 39.88 CFM @ 21db
The LED model is 52.19 CFM @ 25.2DB... kinda middle of the road between the quiet and pro model
<40cfm seems kinda low to me. So assuming its the airflow model i want, not the static pressure, which of those should i get for the exaust? The LED almost seems the best, but i kinda wanted a non-LED model. I will have a 200mm intake, 2x 200mm exausts on top, and a 200mm intake on the side. i was thinking of putting a 120mm intake on the bottom too but wasn't sure
One more thing: i have a cougar 120mm laying around, this one

would that be good for the intake on the bottom? what about the exhaust?
