I just got a Cooler Master 922 and it has a 200mm fan on the top that can be replaced with 2x120mm fans, a 200mm Red LED fan in the front, a stock 120mm fan in the rear, and a place inside the case on the bottom in front off the PSU for a 120mm or 140mm fan. so my question is which should be the best fan setup for this case? i hear the noctua and corsair air series fans are nice. i want something kinda quiet but moves alot of air too. should the rear or inside-bottom fan be a PWM fan? also to mention i have a Noctua NH-D14 and would like to know which direction to set the cooler as far as working with the fans to cool the CPU also. This is the link to the 922 for some pics. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119197
It says fan options are:

Front: 200mm fan x 1 Red LED on / off fan x1/ 1000RPM/ 142 CFM/ 23dBA

Top: 200mm fan x 1 / 1000 RPM / 142 CFM/ 23dBA (can be swapped to 120mm fan x2)

Rear: 120mm fan x 1 / 1200 RPM /17 dBA

Bottom: 120 / 140mm fan x 1 (optional)

Side: 200mm fan x 1 (optional)

What the default config is for airflow

another couple questions i have are, is it better to mount the bottom fan to exhaust air out of the bottom of the case or to intake air to blend with the front fan blowing towards the GPU and CPU? also if i buy a fan controller for all these fans do they have to be PWM to be controlled? i would like to be able to set the case fans lower for quietness when i'm away from the pc or just basic PC use (internet, music, etc) and be able to ramp up the fan speeds when im gaming or running a CPU/GPU intense program? thank you guys in advance for your help!
