Old school Alienware case

I have an old alienware case that I bought about 4 years ago in hopes to make it a secondary PC...never happened, now I am upgrading my primary PC but the current case is too small (so I think)... Anyway, I would like to finally use the Alienware case. What type of fans are the ones that I need (size-wise) and which ones will be for sure recommend? (I want them to be blue if all possible please...hehehe)

iirc from my old case it was a 120mm at the rear and 80mm side panel. Anything faster than 1200RPM will probably be too loud.
 
I'd just take a quick measurement to be sure. There aren't any filters, so you probably don't need a high pressure fan. Some low speed Yate Loons for cheap or some Slipstreams if you feel like spending some money on them. What sucks about old cases is they used a lot of 80mm fans, which are fussy without moving much air.
 
Quick question, do y'all think that the CM Hyper 212+ will fit in that case? the thing is HUGE!!! I am afraid that the copper ends will touch the side of the case and heat up and things will start smoking... btw, in the side door (first pic) there's some type of material, no idea what it is... looks like styrofoam or something.. Any idea what it is and is it flammable?

Very hard to tell whether the CM Hyper212+ will fit into the casing as these kind of information is not publicly available like aftermarket cases would. You will just have to take ruler and measure the maximum height clearance from the CPU heat spreader.

The heat from a CPU is not hot enough to ignite anything. Heat is not always equivalent to fire. The material at the side panel is for sound dampening and such materials are flammable if you expose it to fire obviously.
