Default 120mm fan advice plz!
I just got a Raidmax Smilodon-EB case and needless to say the stock fans for intake and exhaust dont move any air at all. They would've done just as well to leave open vents actually.
Anyway, I'm looking for some recommendations on good 120mm fans for the bottom front intake and rear exhaust. I saw a couple coolermaster fans on Newegg that seemed ok but I don't wanna get burned. I'm looking to move a lot of air thru this case and in my opinion a little noise is ok as long as it doesn't sound like a jet plane.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'll be back around 10pm EST to check back in. Leaving for work now... bummer.

Get some yate loons. The "lows" are great and move a nice amount of air.

Case fans I would go for Scythe Slipstreams. Of course, they're not good heatsink fans due to weak static pressure but great case fans (due to high CFM).

This, getting mine 5 december... can't wait!
I would recommend getting the 1900RPM's with a fan controller

Personally, these are some fans that i have been using in my case for airflow and on my heatsink and believe it or not they do have good static preasure.

Seconded. Slipstreams would only make more noise with only a marginal airflow improvement.

Theres a reason most OEM's use yate loons. They're quiet as hell and push a ton of air.
