Hey guys
I am building new system for one of my friends and we have decided I will build almost the same RIG as I have. That means:
Intel Core i5 3570k
Noctua NH-D 14
MSI Z77 Mpower (Maybe Z87)
some 8 GB DDR3 Ram 1600 Mhz
some GTX 780 / GTX 770
WD 1 TB Caviar Black + some SSD
Fractal Design Define R4
and peripherals.
Now to my main concern. My friend wants his biuld as silent as possible but also as cool as possible. So now I am thinking which fans I should include in Define R4 (also in which positions for best airflow) and what fans to include on NH-D 14 it self.
I have made this picture to show what I think now:

BLUE fans (case): Noctua NF-A14 ULN x6
GREEN fans (NH-D14): Noctua NF-SA12 ULN x2
These are just my favorites, so be free to post any other ideas
Thanks
PS: Yeah I have the picture like in 2 minutes
