I have seen plenty of Xigmatech fans, but most of them have a tint, so it displays a color of the fan rather than a white LED.
I considered doing a mod myself, but I don't even know what type of LED to buy (3mm, 5mm, flanged, etc). I understand how to execute the procedure (I think), due to a small guide I found online. I'm having trouble even locating where I could buy only 8 of the LED's online, most places require you to buy minimum of 50 to 100.

There is an aero cool one that pushes a lot of air, but is a bit on the noisy side. And nearly 18 bucks. Little expensive.

Any input on where I could find something, or some suggestions would be nice
 
It's most likely 3mm LEDs. Futurlec.com will allow you to buy as little as 1 LED :)
 
Thank you for a timely response. I will look into that, definitely. The stock fans in my case push a decent amount of air, so buying whole new fans isn't exactly a waste of money but it wouldn't be that huge of an upgrade for how much they are.

That one doesn't look too bad, but as you mentioned, I'm not sure how the color of the fan will effect the light, if it will at all.

This particular one, as well as the orange fan, give it a blue or orange tint. It's basically a way for it to make a shiny spinning color, as opposed to radiating light. That's why I'm having a hard time dishing the money out on the Aerocool (I think that's what it's called) that Tiger direct sells. But I also don't want to fuck up the LEDs if I buy them, or even worse, my fan.
 
I have the white AeroCool SilverLightning 140MM.

They thiner than the average Case fan so they do push a bit less air at a slightly louder volume, but are good none the less.
 
Yeah, that's the one I was talking about. They are kind of expensive, and my lian li has nice fans. I'd rather not spend 40 bucks on 2 fans, but if I have to I will. The LED is a much cheaper option, it just depends on if I feel comfortable doing something like that
 
That I wouldnt know, You could send an email to p-pcs and ask them, They usually answer very quickly.

I thought about adding a white LED 120 fan. I did use a blue led, But got tired of it, So dont use any right now, But a white led fan might be cool.
