Optimal air cooling in a Define series case

[Emceeschw3pp3]

From many reviews, unboxings, and ect. I know that the front fans for the Define series are somewhat starved in terms of intake. I know that they have the slots along the side and what not, but I was wondering if anyone has tried or tested something like the Corsair SP series in order to combat that somewhat closed off front panel. Am I just wrong in thinking that the increase in static pressure would make an improvement over something like the air flow series from Corsair? Keep in mind that I would be running these fans as low as possible, in order to complement the silent design of the Define series.

Static pressure optimized fans will help. If you want quiet, you should also get fans that are inherently quiet. Two good static pressure optimized 140mm fans for the front. NF-A14's or NB PK-2's.

SP fans will help

 

I just don't have any front fans in my silenced define mini

What I'd personally do would be put a couple of fan filters on the top of the case and use that as an intake.
