So I was bored and I was looking at some details for the case I am going to buy, and one thing led to another and I looked up problems people have with case

1. Some found the pwm/argb cables for the fan hub too short but I don't expect to have same problem, their headers were at opposite ends of the motherboard whereas on mine they almost right next to one another... that and I don't have any argb fans so not really fussed about connecting it yet
2. Some found their motherboard didn't recognise the USB 2 connection for the Display on side of case, that sounds more like a BIOS problem really
3. Some found fans rattled... erm, I don't need that again

So if number 3 happens again, I did some research on fans (getting to be an expert) and it was a short search as I had brands to ignore:

1. Arctic - P12 fans seem to die too fast (I do have 4 spare P12 ARGB fans I could put in if necessary... shame i don't have the passthrough cable anymore.)
2. Lian li - fans died within 3 months, also need to use their hub to control
3. Corsair - I don't want more fan hubs and most of their fans won't work without one.
4. Thermaltake Swafan - only available in a 3 pack and needs its own hub
5. and when you are looking for white fans, Noctua as well. I thought about them but you would see them through front of case.

So after a short search I came to
Bequiet Silent Wings Pro 4
The 120mm fans are actually quieter, have higher static pressure and are better performing than their 140mm versions. Which is strange, as 140mm generall are able to push out more air at a lower speed. The 120mm fans do have more fan blades though.
White reverse blade 120mm fans are even rarer and I might just have to use

1. a Silent wings pro 4 there too.
2. Or just two Noctuas as its harder to see fan blades on bottom of the case.

Choosing a white case can have its disadvantages I guess

But I see if I have any problems. Not rushing into replacing them before I get the case.
After last year I don't want to think about fans, took me months to get a silent PC
I didn't want to have to replace fans that came with the case. Shame no reviewers mention anything about noisy fans
Shame there is no fan free version of case. I have to hope the fan problem is limited.
