The top fan more towards the front of the case is going to create turbulence in the cool air going towards your CPU cooler, so it probably won't cool as effectively.
I've really never noticed any difference with the top fans in any config.  I forgot the front one on mine is now a low cfm intake, but whether i've had it as intake exhaust or off it's never really made a difference in temps.

With 5 fans, there will be noise, yes.
I can turn off all of mine (9 total 120mm) and the noise level doesn't change (when they are on low) from what the rest of my system produces sitting about 2ft from the PC which is sitting a couple feet off the ground.

Meh I just can't see the reason to get a passive cooler in the first place when the first thing you do is strap on two fans making it an active cooler -.-

It's not a passive cooler, It just doesn't come with a fan you have to add your own.

One of my favourite things about the TRUE is that it doesn't come with a fan, I want to be able to pick my own fan.

It's not that much heavier than the stock HSF.

The screws near the back take most of the weight anyway

Lets just hope you will never need another PCI slot

I'm expecting a 8800GTS 512mb sometime next week, will need to flip the cooler around to fit it in the second PCI-E slot. Will be no room for my X-Fi so I will have to use the PCI-E 1x sound card that came with my case.

Suddenly, you realise my stunning 380mm fan delivers superior cooling than any of your meagre 120mm fans.

Pic related, its my superior cooling and temps.

Suddenly, you realise that desk fans blow dust into your hardware, causing short term benefits in cooling, but long term drawbacks.
