Personally I think seven is WAY overkill. I run two of these in my cocktail and have never gotten close to having any heat issues.

I must speak up on this comment.  Are you using a 27" d9200 monitor in your cocktail?  Or for that matter any of the 27" multisynch monitors that seem to fail when you sneeze wrong?  That many fans may indeed be overkill but when dealing with this setup I think it may be better safe than sorry since there are those that say overheating for this monitor can be an issue.  I would run at least two taking air in on the bottom and two blowing out near the top plus one fan blowing on the neckboard if you are running a d9200.

It's good that you did. I meant to say that I am using a 19" WG monitor in my cocktail. As far as blowing in, personally I do not believe that is necessary, however the fan on the neck of the monitor (blowing towards exaust fans in the rear) is probably a very good idea. I would personally listen to Whammoed since he has much more experience than myself. I would, however, go with some sort of silent fans.

--- Code: ---I highly recommend Thermaltake fans - I have some, and am very satisfied. I replaced all my fans in my pc last year, and not only does it run cooler, it is now silent.

so if I go with 7 of those and 1 120mm I should be ok.  I just want to make sure I have enough cooling and I would like it to be some what quite.

How do you mount them if you want them to blow in the other direction, looks like they only mount on one side??

Or I could use 7 of these  http://www.casecooler.com/80vanstealfa.html
