Stacker 830 fans?

I'm getting a stacker 830 evo in a few months for my new PC and I was wondering what fans I should put in it. Also, I was wondering how many fans the case can support, I've heard most people says seven, but I've heard others say nine. Any confirmation on this? Anyway, I heard that Yate Loon fans are good for this case, but with a google search I came up with two different versions of it, a black one and an orange one, which is better? I'm looking for silence and maximum airflow obviously, and since these fans are so cheap, I will be buying a couple of them at once.
 
I just have Antec Tri-Cools in mine.

I guess those aren't good/fancy enough for some :D
 
The black mesh grills on the Stackers just begs for blue LED fans in the front.
 
Yate Loons are great stock, but under-volted are even better for quietness. To my knowledge there is no difference between the colors, except for the fact that nexus re-brands the orange ones.

There is also a new blue led version from YL. Same great specs and just a buck or two more. I know svc has them in stock, don't know about elsewhere. Still to me best bang for the buck.
 
to me case fans aren't super important...I would just suggest buying some cheap fans and keeping eyes on them for awhile or you could shell out 15.00 a fan.

I would suggest just getting cheaper ones for normal fan slots, (Rear of case, front, top) but high-end fans for the CPU cooler if your buying the pieces apart such as if you where buying a cooler that does not come with a fan like the Thermalright Ultra 120.

If your case has a window you can see whether the fans are spinning or not, I just don't see the use of $15-20 fans when you could get almost the identical thing for half the price.

What I'm doing is buying the Ultra 120 for my 5200+ with a Scythe S-Flex...but for the rest of my fans I think I'll probably use Rosewill or Thermaltake fans ;)

Another alternative is you could buy cheap fans and get a fan controller like the Thermaltake XController that will notify you if a fan fails, also you can turn them down when your not gaming.

There are a bunch of fan controllers out there and a lot of them have a lot of cool features..if I where you I'd look into them.

Thanks, I think I'll look into getting a fan controller and not spending too much. I've got about $60 left over for this build and so I think I'm just going to get about 5 Yate Loons ($4 per fan). I'll spend the rest on the fan controller.
