What type of case do you have and how many fans have you squeezed into it?

The bigger question I am interested in is how many fans do you run in your machine, I asked what type of case so we have an idea of how much those fans exactly do. For example four fans in a small HTPC case is much more useful than four fans in a TJ11.

 

Currently I have a Corsair 400R, my graphics card has one fan and same for the power supply. There is 10 other fans that I have installed. They are all Cooler Master fans that come 4-in-1 packs. I have them all wired to an NZXT touchscreen fan controller, 2 fans for every channel on the controller. So total 12 fans, and the loudest thing in my computer is the hard drives that spin at 7200RPM because the fans can be run at such a low RPM. Also to clarify I use a Corsair H50 cooler, so two of the fans out of ten are on the radiator for that in push pull. 

 

Fan locations:

2 Fans are located at the front grill for intake

1 fan is sucking air through the hard drives from these fans in the front

1 fan is located in front of the power supply (also intake)

2 fans on my side panel as intake

2 fans as exhaust on my radiator

2 fans on the top of the case as exhaust

Power Supply and GPU fan

 

So, how many fans have you squeezed into what case?

I wasn't sure if I should put this under Cases and PSU's or air cooling, so it ended up here.

I have an Aerocool mechatron case and I have a total of 10 fans excluding thew PSU.

I use red Bit Fenix Spetre pro's for all of my fans, except on the ram which is a kingston hyper x that I cut the LEDs off. 

 

200mm at the top, 120 at the back, 200mm on the side, 120mm on the cpu, 2 140's up front, 1 140 ghetto mounted on the 2.5 inch HDD bays, 120mm ghetto mounted on the 5.25inch drive bays, 140 at the bottom and a kingston hyper x on the ram slots. :D

 

I use a Bitfenix hydra to control everything with a few spitters. I usually set everything to the lowest setting unless I'm gaming and I'm using my headset. 

 

If I do decide to add something like an accelero artic loop and a corsair h100i to my set up the max I can go is 12 or 13. :)
