I'm a little confused about your post because As WARburton said, there's 16 intake and 14 exhaust fans. So it's a positive pressure setup.
And reverse blade fans are purely aesthetic, they're actually less effective than standard orientation fans so I'm not sure how they'd help anyway?

not strictly true, the reverse D30 was actually better on rands than the stock D30. but that is just one your fans may be better than a d30 anyway

Thanks for the replies everyone, sorry for being MIA.
I've actually had to make a couple of changes to the build.
Firstly the blue pastel coolant from Thermaltake was atrocious, and within a week was leaving white crusty residue on everything so I had to flush my loop. and I've gone with the Transparent Blood Red from EK.
I also had to switch out the fans from QX120s to RX120s. Basically the QX120s seem to make a noise similar to coil whine when the RGB is set to static white. It's not really noticeable if you only have a few fans, but when you have 30 in your build the cumulative noise was quite loud and distracting. Quite an expensive change but the RX120 fans have been working great.
I'll take some updated pics later today.
