I need help deciding

Hello. I need help on deciding what type of fans to get for my build. It's portal themed so i'm looking for black and white mainly, but i might consider blue or orange. I need 12x 120mm fans for radiators and one as a case fan. Everywhere else is filled with rads :P So i'm honestly not sure what i'm looking for in a way. Things to consider is the fact that i need 13 fans so not really looking to spend a ton of money but i don't wan't crappy performance either. I would favor performance over cost though as long as it's not excessive. Whatever will get the job done and is either black and white or can be painted somehow. I don't know how to paint fans but i've seen it done before and i'd be more than willing to learn. What would you recommend? Sorry if it's kind of a complicated question.

 

btw i don't really care much about noise i have an air filter and a fish tank making noise pretty close to me anyways.

Just a normal guy with a constant desire to modify everything he owns. 

Check out my current build here:

also not to spoil your case but I believe that Aperature is actually spelt "Aperture"

Yeah i realized that. It was actually a mistake on the painters end. He lost my email and guessed at it. Dumbass couldn't just look it up?

Anyways. Yeah 12. I'm going to have 2x 240's and 2x 480's.

Is he going to fix it?

 

And as far as fans go, I don't use anything but the finest Corsair AF (in your case it'll be SP) fans.

He said he would if i had it powder coated again, but that's very expensive as well, so for the time being it sits until i have the money for it and find a new more reliable artist. Thank you for the recommendation i'll look into those :)

Be quiet! Silent Wings or Pure Wings, they don't have the highest SP, but at that rad surface it doesn't really matter

Cougar Vortex, they are black and orange so they fit the style

EK Vardars, they come in black and white, and they are excellent

Venturis HP from Fractal are good too

Bitfenix Specter Pro are great, good looking and not too expensive
