Hi! I am working on a new build and ordered a new case and psu. I chose a white NZXT Phantom. The exact one is here:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WE9WQO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I wanted to get 2 extra fans to fill 2 of the 3 empty fan slots on the case. I decided to fill the top and front slots. The thing is, I would prefer if both top fans are the same fans. I tried doing some research to find the exact fan that is used in the case. Here is the one I came up with:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052XQFIQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Does anyone know if that is the same fan that comes with the case? I know it seems kinda superficial but I like things to match. Also, both the fans I ordered a blue LED. Can anyone confirm if the ones in the case are blue LED? From the research I was able to do it seems so but I would feel more comfortable knowing for sure.

I probably should've asked this stuff before placing the order but I never seem to do that.

I have that same case (except black and currently looking to replace it after 2 years). The fans you selected are basically the same as what's provided though I THINK the stock 200mm fans are a tad faster than that silent one but not as fast as their high performance versions. Whatever you do, don't stick a 230mm fan in the side. Sadly it's not a true 230mm fan mount (neither is the 200mm one).
 
Yeah I am leaving the side slot open anyway as I intend to put an aftermarket cpu cooler once I finish the build and I hear they can be a tight squeeze with that side fan in there.
 
Also in the same boat. Been looking for info as to an exact same second fan for the top. You definitely want to stick with NZXT as other fans are sized up differently and will not work in the top. I found out after ordering a set of fans :( and also found a bunch of irritated users doing the same thing. Unfortunately, I found this out after getting said fans.As for the front, I bought a high speed Yate Loon that I plugged into the controller.
