I am going to build an i7 rig in an Antec 1200 case, and I need some advice on the cooling. I heard that the stock fans on the Antec 1200 are not that great. Also, I want to change the color scheme to red LED's. Are there any specific fans that you would recommend? Also, are there any other 200mm fans out there that has red LED's Thanks.

i use antec 1200 with my 920 build, and its doing the job for me, with a hyper 212+ and the stock crap fan on the heatsink i am at 3.7GHZ @ 75C
As for the red 200mm fan, There is a switch on the back of the case to turn off the blue led's on the 200mm fan, or you could get this:

Have you considered the COOLER MASTER HAF 932. It's a full tower case similar to the ANTEC 1200, but it's led color scheme is red. As someone who was debating between the two roughly 8 months ago, the reason I went with the ANTEC 1200 was I preferred the blue led color scheme over the red. Both are really good cases so you really can't go wrong with either one. I have not had any fan problems since I got the case and would consider them all very good and reliable fans.

I was thinking about the Haf 932, but it has no dust filters.
