Walkthrough of a Cooler Master Sniper Case with Gigabyte EX58-UD4P Motherboard and i7 920 CPU incuding 6GB OCZ DDR3 1600 Triple Channel DDR3 Ram with Prolimatech Megahalems CPU Cooler.
The fan wiring wasn't the greatest. I ended up connecting the main fans into the central fan controller unit. It works fine, but if you wanted to more individually adjustments you would need to buy a separate fan controller unit. The stock one works fine for my setup after I did some rewiring.
It's not too loud. Depending on how you hook the fans up you can turn down all fans with the knob up top. You can turn them down so they are hardly audible or crank them up so they are really loud. It all depends on your setup and how much air you need to move to make your system cooler. If you have an overclocked CPU etc. Since I lowered my voltage do below stock it makes my CPU run even cooler than stock, so my fans are audible but it's not very loud.
I think you will be ok with a 120mm fan no problem. The 200mm might not fit, but I'm not sure. There is already an included 200mm fan at the top of the case so you could see if that one fits before you buy one. The sides of the case flair out so you have lots more room than almost all other cases.
how is the fan controller on your system is it good or worth buying an extra fan controller for the pc
