I have a corsair 400C which is a great case however it looks empty up front and i would love to add 3 120mm case fans to the front so i can lower the overall speed of the fans in the build as well as improve the aesthetics. Any suggestions for a decent looking triple pack of fans with a fan hub if possible or a suggestion for a low cost fan hub to go along with the fans. Thanks for the help.

I have RGB lights so i would honestly prefer to not have any lighting on them since it would make me have two separate systems for lighting.

ML120

can recommend, bought ML140 for CPU heatsink, no lights, no bullshit, quite quiet. $45 two pack (CAD)

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?

What are your specs?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'all in one'. 

The stock case fans should be enough already. Are they too noisy? Have you tried lowering their fan speeds?

Temps are fine I'm just saying I want fans to to make it look nice and I'm planning on a crossfire setup in the future so more front fans wouldnt be a bad idea.

 

I meant I wanna spend $40 for fans and hub if possible.

What kind of look are you going for? The included AF140L are pretty color neutral. What did you want a hub for? Do you not have enough headers on your motherboard?

You could just use fan splitters instead. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812423163&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Cables+-+Internal+Power+Cables-_-N82E16812423163&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2NXTBRDoARIsAJRIvLwXYTHfZHL_JXPbaa8Te8uzpeZdQGLqwaIO2Im3UW5jjvdwU-taUqwaAv8dEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Adding two 140mm's at the front for intake should be plenty already. You can move the stock AF140L to the top for exhaust.

PW2's would be good: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wj8H99/be-quiet-pure-wings-2-140-612-cfm-140mm-fan-bl040

not a bad idea the only reason i was after the 120mm fans was cuz i felt like it would fill the space in the front aesthetically. this might look just as good and it would be less costly.
