My case is a P182 and I was thinking off putting two 120mm fans in the open slots.
One will be below the optical drives (blows across CPU heatsink) and the other is by bottom HDD bay (blows across Hard drives, through another fan, then out the PSU).

I don't know the RPM or CFM of the Antec fans that come in the case.
Should I find that out before I buy fans? Is it crucial that the fans I add have the same RPM/CFM as the current fans in my case? I know positive or negative pressure can be an issue, but I don't know if I should even care.

btw I was thinking of putting Scythe 1200 RPM's in those two spots.
 
I thought the P182 was supposed to be a pretty cool and quiet design

Why not see how the case performs (noise and temps) before choosing to add fans?

No matter what additional fans are chosen, they all add noise.
