Will my case look ugly?

I'm planning on getting this case for my upcoming build and the seller says it comes with 3 blue LED fans which in the picture look beautiful on the front. But the thing is,  that leaves it without any fans for the rear unless I get one,  but they're quite costly.  So,  what I plan to do is move one of the fans to the back and leave 2 at the front. Will it look ugly and how should I arrange them to look as good as possible?

You shouldn't need a fan at the rear honestly. Three fans if they're any good will give your components enough airflow.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

So,  the air that gets s

ucked in from the front will try and squeeze and force their way out?

The case looks ugly already, but put the middle fan at the back. It will look the least ugliest. It will also be equal.

I think that's actually a good looking case personally. Doesn't look terribly well built. but it's got SSD trays and cable management holes. And a PSU shroud. There's a lot to like here.
