Bought a CM NR600, comes with 2 stock 120mm fans.

Plan set up
1x 140mm for rear exhaust (purchase 1 new)
3x 120mm for front intake (2x stock and purchase 1new / reuse old case fan)

Or can I do
Front - 1x 140mm at top mount and 1x 120mm at bottom
Back - 2x 120mm

Not using 2x 140mm at front as read from reviews that hard to mount it at bottom due to hdd shroud.

What fans are good value? noctua are kinda out of budget. saw some from corsair, cooler master and be quiet. Armageddon too..

Best value, Arctic F12s and P12, depending on application.

Otherwise, Gentle Typhoons from Taobao.

You can shift the hdd cage nearer to PSU. Then again, the fan will still be very close to it and may not distribute air properly.

If only budget, just go for CM MF120 fans. They are decent at its price. If not, corsair ML120?
