So to sum it up. 

 

2 : 140mm Redux Pressure fans on top & 3 : 120mm Redux Air flow ?

 

For the front can you mount 140mm fans?

 

Ideally it would be better to use the 140mm pressure fans for the whole case if you can, the 120mm version isn't the greatest especially since it's low RPM, I'd only really use it where there is only 120mm fan mounts to move air like the rear exhaust.

Sadly I can only use 120mm Fans in the front & also the back is only 120mm..

 

The top is the only place 140mm can be mounted.

CES/computex, you knwo one of those places

 

Hm, I've never seen any statement like this. The redux fans are supposed to be the same models they have been selling for years - same features, same materials, just some different speed options, different colours and no accessories to bring the price down.

Hmm ok I'd get the two of the 140mm for the top and a 120mm for the rear but the front if there are hard drives I suggest using a more pressure optimized fan there, if it's open I don't see any problem using the 120mm there
