Well I just bought a bit fenix shinobi case windowed in white with the green mesh inserts and the green badge (going for a green and white style if u hadn't guessed! Lol)

When I bought the case I thought it came with fans(not the window but do with the non window version) so now I'm in need of some fans I have a sutle green light in the case which you can just see the Akska silent venom (yellow but looks green for the CPU cooler) I'm looking for some case fans to replace the antec cheap units I have fitted at the moment(they where about 1.99 have three speed setting and run off molex connectors I cannot find them on this site anymore so cannot see what there db or cfm are if anyone know I would appreciate it if they could let me know) I'm looking for one 140mm top case fan removing air and two 120mm (one for the front pulling air in one for behind the cooler on the rear of the case pushing air out)maybe more later down the line I don't want to spend a fortune but will stretch if I have to I'm looking for either white fans or green bladed or light up(green) looking for as quiet operation as I can with good airflow.
Will I see much difference in temps/noise?
I would if possible like to be able to attach them to a fan controller if I buy one in the future.

Any help would be massively appreciated.

thermalright ty-140 if it fits they do have 120mm spacing for the holes but they are an odd shape superb fans one might fit in the top but double check dimensions etc
as for 120mm they are all much of a muchness if you ask me but I like the noctuas, scythes hell even akasa ambers are decent on 5v.

Silverstone air penetrators would work nice in the front as they tend to push air in more a straight projectile rather than out all over the place but for me I'd get thermalright ty-140's everywhere that i could if they fit in the front you are laughing yes you would see a difference over the basic antec fans they dont push much air.

double check to see if the ty140's would fit in the front mounts

I got myself two Bitfenix Spectre RED LED 140mm Fans ...and to be honest.....they really didnt seem to move very much air at all :( .....so went back to the stock ones that came with my case ....they seem to move more air :)
 
Antec 120mm Tri-Cool
12v. 1930rpm . 53cfm . 36dBA @ 1m
. 9v. 1530rpm . 41cfm . 29dBA
. 7v. 1220rpm . 30cfm . 23dBA
. 5v. . 879rpm . 21cfm . 20dBA

I use Thermalright TY-140 and Akasa FN053. FN053 is not great, TY-140 is.. except for colour
