Case Fan Question

I am getting either the Thermaltake Tsunami or the Soprano case and I had a few questions.

1 - Do you think that the stock fans that come with the case will be good enough? (2 - 120mm 1400rpm fans, 1 intake front, 1 exhaust back) and (1 - 90mm 1800rpm fan on the side window)

2 - If I were to get a Panaflo 2400rpm fan, would it be more effective as intake from the front or exhaust in the back?

3 - I was going to get the XP-120 heatsink, what fan do you recommend for it? Panaflo? Tornado? Noise doesn't bother me really, I want great airflow.

Thanks in advance!

#1) Stock fans are probably good enough.

#2) The Panaflo would probably go best at the back, as you already have two intake fans - you want your outake fan to be powerful enough to blow all the air out.

#3) Tornado will give you heaps of airflow for the heatsink. Delta even make a 120mm fan with an airflow of 220cfm. Thats a sh1t load, but beyond a certain point increasing the speed of the fan won't improve performace, only noise. If you want good airflow/noise, get a high or ultra high speed panaflo.

I would put the panaflo on the intake if it would fit. Panaflos are 1.5" thick so sometimes they won't fit in front.
