Fans for Silverstone RL07 case

After getting a parts list together for my partners son he's chosen the above case with a red lighting theme.

I was thinking of replacing the exhaust 140mm fan with:

and then adding 2 of these as front intake fans:

Any thoughts or better suggestions for a red LED setup?

Thanks in advance

I would use at least 2x 140mm front intakes, 3x 140mm if they will fit. CPU cooler wth 140mm fan/s needs a little more 1x 140mm intake fan airflow because of gril & filter resistance, and 2x-3x fanned GPU needs almost 2x 140mm intake fans of airflow. Removing all PCIe back slot covers greatly increases rear vent area exhaust airflow and thus better front to back airflow around GPU giving it lower temps and letting less of it's heated air move up into airflow to CPU cooler.

thanks for this - will take a look for something suitable

i think what we are saying here is "light the case another way and get fans that other people know work"
