Im thinking about getting a Stacker 832. And stuff it with fans :D

Should number of exaust fans equal number of intake? Or maybe there should be more exaust fans? Or more intake?

The objective is to have near-silent system, but still have good temp.
 
But doesnt it create like turbulence and noice or whatever? :D

So if i have like 5 intakes and 2 exausts + psu + gpu, ill be fine?
 
Positive airflow is better than negitive airflow, for 2 reasons, better temps (usually) and helps keep the dust out, so I would agree with the 4 in 3 out statement, you only want it to be *slightly* positive, not completely positive
 
I have a Stacker 801
Max Number of Fans that can go in the Case:
3 x 80mm (2 back, 1 top)
6 x 120mm (4 front possible, 1 side, 1 back)
1 x 355mm Crossflow fan

In my case I have it set up as follows:
Window on the Side, no Crossflow
3 x 80mm Fans (2 at back, 1 at top) Exhaust
1 x 120mm Fan at back (104 CFM Panaflo) Exhaust
1 x 120mm Fan on HDD cage Intake
1 x 120mm Fan Moded to inside frame (104 CFM Panaflo) Mid Mounted acts as both an Intake and a HSF
Also to note…
1 x 120mm Fan on the HSF
1 x 120mm Fan on the PSU

Since this case has a front that is made up of filter screens, I have very little dust that gets in the case.
