Hi

Still loving my Antec 902 case and its been great keeping all the internals cool for many years now but recently one of the front fans has started making a noise like the bearing are going, so would like to buy some replacements.
Im after a like for like replacment with the blue LED and that can still be controled by the knob on the front for speed.

Can anyone point me where i can buy the originals from please?

Cheers

Antec list them as Tricool 120mm fans, which with the blue LED seem about impossible to get. Impossible at least at a sane price, I did see someone selling refurb ones for £100 but I'm going to guess you don't love the case that much.

Take a peek at how they are wired up. Are they a standard 3 of 4 pin fan connector going to the fan controller? Knowing Antec possibly one of the power plugs like you get on old hard drives, that's what my Antec 300 case came with at least.

I suspect you are going to have to try and find a substitute. Antec seem to do an argb 120mm 3 pin fan quite cheaply if that will plug into your fan controller, but it looks like your motherboard doesn't have any rgb headers to program the fan to only do blue.

Perhaps someone who knows RGB will have an idea how to tell a fan to be blue with the wrong motherboard. If one front fan is gone the other probably isn't far behind, so a matching pair might be a good idea anyway.

I have 3 no. Antec Tri-cool 120mm fans taken from an Antec P182 case in good working order, but they don't have the blue LED. They come with the in-line manual switch to adjust fan speed. Happy to part with them if they're any use to you.

They're full black plastic for reference.

£100 madness, you are right i don't love the case that much espeshally when i bought the case 2nd hand for under £20

Im not too fussed about them having blue LED its more that they can still be controled by the knob on the front case to adjust speed, all the replacement ones i have found dont have that and only have a seperate cable switch attached to the fan.

Found a few people selling off the cases so might buy one for parts and hope fans are ok.

Thanks for the offer mate but the noise has stopped so will see how it goes. Was also a good thing it made the noise it turns out as recently i installed some new SSD's on monday and had not noticed till i tried turning the fan speed up and down yesterday due to fan noise that the bottom fan was not spinning at all. So tried to move the fan fins by hand and found part of a cable had got stuck inbetween the fan fins. Now both working fine.
