Help with case fans

[Inception9269]

I was hoping someone could give me a hand with finding some good quality fans for my case, the case I'd be using is a Fractal Design Arc XL Fractal Design Arc XL ATX Full Tower Case

 

And I was hoping some people could give me a hand with this. In my current rig I use mostly corsair fans, the ones I'm using being Corsair SP140 49.5 CFM 140mm Fan

 

I know a lot of people are most likely going to mention Noctua; however the big thing I really don't like about their fans (i have one in my current rig for an exhaust port) is they're not very aesthetically pleasing. i really don't like the brown look of them.

 

What all are some good fans that are preferably 140mm (120 is alright if they'd work better) and are either black, or have red led (I'd prefer all my fans in this new build to have red led)

 

As for any other info, I bought a Cooler Master Nepton 240m to use for my cpu cooling, which will be mounted at the top, which leaves room for 3 more fans.

 

One last thing is the orientation of the psu, i plan on buying XFX XTR 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

 

My pc will be sitting on my dresser, and i don't have a dust problem. the reason why I'm wondering about this is i've seen people mention the exhaust fan is good for pulling hot air away from gpus, but someone said the hot air could damage my psu, is that something i should be concerned about?

So... you use all SP fans?

how about these fans? http://pcpartpicker.com/part/aerocool-case-fan-shark140mmred

Do you not like the Corsair fans? Corsair makes both SP(Static Pressure for radiators) and AF(Airflow optimized) fans in LED.

As for your power supply, I would face it down. (So the fan is intaking from the bottom of the case) This would make it so the PSU gets fresh, cool air from underneath the case.

Since you're posting about case fans, I'm assuming that you're planning to have good airflow, so you wouldn't need the PSU to pull air from inside your case.

I do like the corsair fans, but I want to know if there's anything better

[Inception9269]

they have an industrial series, which is i think decent looking

 

Perhaps, but a big factor is i also want something that's red led, since black and red is the theme for my build

I most likely should have good airflow, all the fans I'd be going with are static pressure fans, I'd have 2 in the front, i plan on taking out the top hdd rack since that would block the top fan, and i plan on having the bottom one cool my hdds. I am wondering about the fan at the back of the case, should I also have that one positioned to blow in air, or should I make that an exhaust fan?

 

and as for the top two fans that would be going to the Cooler Master Nepton 240m, those fans apparently are extremely nice

Why would you use static pressure fans for your case? SP are meant for radiators. You'd get better airflow with the airflow optimized fans.

I would say the front two and bottom being intakes. The top and back exhausts.

Was told their much better, I'll probably look into that again.

what about these fans Corsair Air Series AF140 Red 66.4 CFM 140mm Fan

[AverageHardware]

Those are great fans from what I've read. Those would be good for the two front, bottom, and back fan.
