I have a 650d and want to replace the obnoxious front fan, any suggestions for good 200mm fans? Normally I would get a good airflow one since its an intake but anyone who has a 650D knows the front is quite restrictive with the filter, so should i get a pressure optimised one? Any suggestions?

Ye, I've got a Bitfenix Spectre Pro in mine, they move a lot of air, much more than the stock anyway, I can feel a draft from a couple of metres away. I got the 230mm one, which isn't actually 230mm (it has 200mm mounting) but you do have to file down a bit of the outer housing for it to fit, and move the HDD cages cos its thicker (30mm). Its got a higher static pressure than the 200mm version which is why i got it.

In saying all this, the metal grid in the front intake is what makes fans loud in this case due to air being sucked through the holes. I cut mine out and its significantly quieter now.
