I have many fans in possession to choose from (not all will be used obviously). Help me pick fans, placement, appearance, case mods, etc.
Here's the case they're going in:
Chieftec Silver Aluminum case w/ acrylic side window:

Here are all the fans in my possession:
3 SF2's 75cfm/48db/8.4w
3 SF2's (cool mod)
2 80mm UV sensitve fans 30 cfm/27db (I have 2 UV (black) lights in case along with UV sensitive cables)
2 92mm Tornado's 119cfm/56db/12.5w
2 92mm blue led 44cfm/30db/2.28w
1 120 blue led 69cfm/39db/4.8w
Now, what the hell do I do with some of them, lol.
Here's what I'm thinking so far:
2 SF2's (not the cool mod) in front of case (since they probably won't be seen).
2 SF2's (cool mod) in the back of case.
SF2 (cool mod) on the cpu
Now, here's where I'm unsure (unsure about air cooling performance, unsure about looks, unsure about noise somewhat)
Do I.....
A) Mod side case for the 2 80mm UV sensitive fans
B) Mod side case for 1 92mm blue led fan
C) Mod side case for 2 92mm blue led fans
D) Mod side case for 1 92mm Tornado
E) 1 Blowhole for 120mm blue led fan
F) 1 Blowhole for 1 92mm Tornado
G) 2 Blowholes for 2 92mm blue led fans
(All my fans will be hooked up to Rheobus for rpm control with 20w per channel, and hooked up to digidoc5 for rpm monitoring)
Decisions, decisions, decisions, what's a man to do.
What would you do? Remember - the best combination of cooling, looks, and noise (eh, somewhat)
I would really appreciate as much input on this as I can get.
