For my 600T. Can anyone recommend any?

I'd like the fan combo to be blue/black. Maybe with a blue led, though i will consider ledless fans. They would need to match well. I'd be looking for 1x200mm and 1 or maybe 2x120mm fans. I'd have the 200mm at the front of my case and 1x120mm in the 5.25 drive bays, held in either by string or i would use stick tabs to hold it in place. I would then have 1x120mm fan at the rear. I have a fan controller that i would connect the fans to.

I currently have some Bitfenix Spectre Pro which are decent. The front 200mm spectre pro has high airflow but the front grill/filter on the 600t seems to restrict most of its airflow. So much so that even the stock 600t fan feels like it moves as much air next to the filter. Maybe because its a higher rpm, i don't know. The 120mm spectre pro leds feel like they move nothing though. They're rated for 50cfm plus but it doesn't feel like that. I have 1850GT's at 58cfn and they feel more like 75+cfn.

The scythes feel like they are flowing more air because they have higher static pressure so you can feel the air being pushed.

The Akasa Apache's are always a winner for case fans, PWM, silent at low rpm and move decent amount of air when pushed.

do you use a fan controller or do you want the motherboard to control the fans?

My personal favourite are the zaward golf fans atm, especially the ocuk tech labs version

I have a Lian LI fan controller from ocuk. This one - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-447-LL&groupid=701&catid=2331&subcat=189

I will have a look at the fans you suggested. I guess with my case im stuck with a Bitfenix Spectre Pro 200mm as the only front intake, so i ordered a blue version from another retailer as ocuk were out of stock.
