Fans for nzxt h500

[szym3k]

Howdy folks, I've decided to buy a NZXT H500 case but I don't know what intake fans to buy, any recommendations? [Dont have to be LED/RGB fans]

corsair LL series are good you can get them in plain or rgb and you can get a 3 pack with controller

Is there a major difference between the 120mm and 140mm variants?

yes the h500 can ONLY fit 120mm on the back and top but can fit 2 140mm or 2 120mm in the front

What if I was to install a 240mm radiator at the front, how would it impact the airflow?

you can use 2 LL series on the radiator and it wont effect air flow by much

LL's are a waste of money if lighting isn't a priority. There are fans that perform similarly or better at a lower price.

It would substantially reduce the intake but allow fresh air for the rad. It can be compensated for with higher fan speeds. 

If you're getting an AIO, the included fans should perform fine. Otherwise, the most appropriate fans would depend on the rad you're using.
