mount a CM Glacer 240L in the front and install nf-f12 everywhere in the case(top, bottom, back, and front)

What would be an ideal cooling solution for the Define Mini? Including case fans and cpu cooler. I've got a 3570K in there with EVGA 670 FTW. Either air or aio water. Also including where the fans should be placed. Silence is a priority :) Thanks!

H100 (50$ tiger direct)

Nb eloops in front, rad in top, eloops pushing on rad. Don't use rear exhaust. Can't remember if the bottom has a fan, if it does use a eloop there.

Anyone whom says nf12's are to be ignored at all times. They are noisy and are only good for high static pressure.

Also, another good option would be Silverstone ap123's in the front and bottom. They are very quiet with amazing directional airflow. They would cool your graphics card well

Edit: plug the side and rear exhaust with the foam gaurds that comes with the case. That will help sound levels. Also, make sure you have enough ports to control in your board, or that you get a USB controller like http://www.frozencpu.com/products/13696/bus-271/Aquacomputer_Aquaero_5_LT_USB_Fan_Controller_Liquid_System_Controller_53095.html there are probably better controller modules, but don't get one you mount in a drive bay

Put BeQuiet! fans everywhere and run them at 7v for true silence. As for CPU cooler, Get a Prolimatech Megahalems and put BeQuiet! Fans on that. And to whoever said NF-F12s; they are pretty loud.

only time it's sort of loud is if I ramp the GPU fans up
