Hi,

I have this case Zalman Z9 U3

Front 120mm/140mm Fan Vent x 1
Top 120mm/140mm Fan Vent x 2
Rear 120mm Fan Vent x 1
Bottom 120mm/140mm Fan Vent x 1

And with it I have 3x 120mm fans (2xBlue Zalman Led, Lian Li) and 1x 140mm fan (Corsair). I haven't tested them yet, but I think the Corsair will be maybe most quiet of them, but they all should be resonably quiet.

Is also has a 2-channel fan controller.

Thanks

put the larger fan in the front of your case as an intake fan, arms toward the inside of the case, and i would put the 2 smaller ones in the back as exhaust fans, arms toward the outside of the case and the other on the right next to it in the top in the same orientation, these ensure a good intake and good exhaust from your case.
