I'm looking a good 200 mm fan for my 600 T. I bought a crappy aero-cool one because it was red with red LED's in it.

I was looking at the cooler master 200 mm megaflow fans.

​any suggestions?

Witch of the 2 has better airflow. I like the look of the Bitfenix but don"t want to fall into the same trap as with the aero-cool

The Spectre Pro has 148.72 CFM ±10% and the Megaflow has 110 CFM. So the Spectre Pros have better airflow than the Megaflow.

27.5 dBA vs 19 for the Megaflow. 8.5 dBA for 20-40 CFM

Think the specters are the better ones... the extra noise wont bother me so much. I have a H100 with stock fans and that already sounds like an aeroplane taking off.

OH and I moved my cages near to the power supply so there nothing blocking the fan. I want a good Intake fan because I have the H100 extracting and the back 120 mm fan and my case is building up a lot of dust so now I'm trying to create a positive air flow.

Well they will fit in regards to thickness & width (if mounted the right way), but the 230mm Spectre Pros have more mounting points than the 200mm which makes them taller (see pics on the Bitfenix website). I had to shave down the outside frame to fit it as an intake in my case (Corsair 650D), so you'll probably have to do the same if you go that route.

Spectre pros are better than cm mega flows and they also come in 200mm http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835345035

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

I actually didn't mod my case, just shaved a bit off the frame of the fan. But yeah, the 200mm will still work fine.

I would go for the Cooler Master MegaFlow 200MM Fans.

Moves a lot of air - 110CFM as compared to NZXT 200mm (which moves less air)

Inc it's rated for 19dB,
