I just got this case and am mostly very impressed with it. My one major gripe is with the noise of the front fans. I did notice in testing that the rear fan makes significantly less noise than the front fans even though it is the same exact model. I thought that perhaps my front fans were broken or defective so i swapped one with the rear fan, and again the fan in front makes significantly more noise than the one in the back.
I then plugged the fan in and held it in my hand, completely outside the case... It has great airflow and perfectly acceptable noise level. As soon as the fan is placed against the front where it would be mounted it makes a ton of noise. I think the issue is the piece of metal for mounting the 120mm fans covers part of the intake for the 140mm causing noise...
Im going to replace my 2x140 with 3x120 and hope i get better results since there doesn't seem to be anything obstructing the airflow on those.
Again great case, i am slightly disappointed that I have to now buy 3 more fans to get this case to have a reasonable sound level.
