    Best LED case fan?

    Hey guys! Im looking for a good looking LED fan with fairly good specs. The price is really not an issue.
    thanks

    I've used Akasa, Antec and Coolermaster.

    Without a doubt the coolermasters are the brightest. Punt's a fairly good amount of air too.

    The Antec is a little quieter - Still looks good and lasts a good while.

    The Akasa - Hmmmf. Don't look that great IMHO and carp quality.

    I'm sticking with Coolermasters!

    If you want to use them with a fan controller then the Coolermaster LED's dim very fast whereas the Akasa's don't dim as much.
    Also you can get Akasa's which do 3800rpm which whilst noisier also shift more air if you need it.
    Oh, & assuming that your Akasa has the clear fan blades if you sand/emery paper them to opaque they look better imho.

    The older CM fans did dim far too much.

    The New CM Fans stay brighter than the Akasa's both at 12V and and 7V.



    And I've bought a few Akasa products and am never going to buy another Akasa item again!
