2 intake, 2 exhaust is more than enough.

btw, should i use 140mm or 120mm

 

140 if you can, the bigger the fan the slower it nees to spin to move the air meaning the quieter it is

140, but not a really big thing. Won't have a major impact.

Bare minimum, I'd say 2 intake at the front and 1 exhaust at back. Just to keep positive pressure. As long as they're all running at the same speed too
