Solution
Do not get SP120 or AF140's LED fans for a number of reasons.

All corsair LED fans have a sleeve bearing which limits them to be mounted vertically. Horizontal mounting will result in a much short life time, loud rattling sound, and other issues that may or may not happen. Bitfenix makes good LED fans that would work in that orientation (horizontal). You also generally want the top as exhaust as it aid in the natural movement of air. However, if you want to experiment with the temps of the top as an intake vs exhaust you can.
