    Recommend some good LED fans?

    Well I've had my V1000B+ for a while now and I think it's time to replace the fans. With the case being black and under my desk, I think coloured fans would be nice. The problem is I don't know know which to get. I don't want silent ones - but I don't want uber loud ones either

    Any suggestions appreciated.

    cheap, quiet esp. if you get them under 1,000 rpm with some form of fan control.

    ac ryan blackfire are ok, I had them in my v1000 and they worked a treat. Its worth investing in a fan controller though.

    Sharkoon have LED versions of their Silent Eagle range. Scan do the 80mm versions, but there are 120mm versions around as well.

    Coolermaster make a good colour of Blue.
    Antecs do also and are reasonably quiet.

    I have found the lifespan of the Antec's greater than the Coolermaster - But the CM blue is a deeper (better) blue.

    I use the Coolermaster blue LED fans, they are quite quiet and the led's on them are really bright also.

    I loved them so much, and so did my ex-girlfriend, that we shoved two in her PC...



    That's two fans, one in the front, and one in the back.

    EDIT : The light was also turned on in that pic!!

    I'm currently using Aerocool Turbine Blue LED 120mm fans and they're ok. Certainly some of the quieter fans.

    Also have a Yate Loon D12SM Blue Led - quiet when undervolted.

    I think they're quite noisy, especially spinning at 2400rpm.
