    Need help picking out case fans for a push/pull setup

    Which fans are better for a PUSH/PULL setup ? I was looking at the AeroCool 120mm and 140mm fans as well as Cougar 120mm and 140mm. I was thinking of having the 140mm fans to be installed 1 on the front and 1 and the rear same goes with the AeroCool fans. Use 120mm fans for the Push/Pull setup.

    Models:
    AeroCool Shark Red LEDs ( Shark Fan 12cm Devil Red Edition ) ( AeroCool Shark 140mm Red, Red LED )
    Cougar Vortex ( black blades) ( COUGAR CF-V12HPB Vortex Hydro-Dynamic-Bearing (Fluid) ) ( COUGAR CF-V14HB Vortex Hydro-Dynamic-Bearing (Fluid))

    Fans are like wine Vista you have to go with what you like. I am a performance person so I use fans that can drown out a taking off Jumbo mate.

    Both will work fine it is all down to what you want them to do? Noise, cooling and looks all have to be calculated when thinking of fans and stuff.

    If you don't mind them being ugly, go for the latest Noctuas

    Thats what I'll be doing soon with some Noctuas
    Red fins and black support (seen that somewhere before, black and red, answer is on the tip of my tongue lol)

    Oh, just seen a thread on these Evercool Titan Kukri TFD-12025H12ZP Which seem pretty good, they are being hailed as a replacement fro the Gentle Typhoons (which are becoming very hard to find)

    Well I do want the fans to be quiet , good with cooling and look good. I am leaning towards the AeroCool Shark Red LEDs due to the fact it has Red LEDs and I've read that they're quiet ( read at newegg) . This is for my upcoming build Q3 or Q4. Just creating a list of hardware .

    I use NZXT fans simply because they match my case. Use thermaltake fans in my thermaltake case. pretty much a fan is a fan. till you go real cheap then maybe they dont last as long, but they will still move the air till they die. BTW those Noctuas fans are the uglyest color fans ever. They could suck the crome off a trailer hitch and I still would not use them lol
