Push/Pull tips?

[loft]

So... I'm going to be grabbing a Lian Li case that has two 120mm fans in it (1 front, 1 rear) and was wondering... which is better?

Higher speed pushing in, or higher speed pulling air out?

I plan on using 2x

in this case

Or if you guys could recommend something else, that'd be even better. I could care less about noise, too.

the positive vs. negative pressure debate can go on forever. each one with its own advantages or disadvantages. personally i just keep all my case fans at the same speed ensuring that my inflow = outflow. as for those case fans you chose, they're pretty good fans but way too expensive. head over to some other sites other than newegg such as svc.com, xoxide, or nexfan and pick up some yateloons for a 1/3 of the price.

Do the Yate Loon fans need to use the molex connector for power? Or can I snip the molex connectors & extra wiring off and just use the 3pin?

they usually come with both a 3-pin and 4-pin connector.

Well, from all images I see online the Yate Loon fans have a 3pin connector with molex pass through. The pass through is useless for me and I'd rather snip it off just to avoid having extra wires in the case.
