Type of Fans Needed?

I have quite low space between my case and the floor. There are mounts on the bottom for 3x120mm fans. I am doing intake on the bottom. Does it matter if these are static pressure or air flow fans? Just wanted to know because of the little space below.

I'd use airflow fans unless theres a radiator or the bottom is VERY close to the floor, then go for SP ;)

If there's little space, I would go more towards static pressure.

I'd say about an inch or less of clearance

What case do you have and is there any Drive bays / reservoirs / obstructions to the airflow?

 

On a carpet?
