What is your favorite brand or type of LED fans to use in your cases? Is it the highly praised CoolerMaster Neon LED fans or others? I'm trying to shop around for 5 blue LED case fans. Newegg has them for $9.15 but its like $2 off for every extra one you order so by the time you get to 5 its like $3.
 
I love those Coolermasters-very bright and amazingly quiet for the amount of air they push. Lucky me got them when they were $5.00 on Newegg, but I should have bought more than 5 :eek:
 
ya the coolermasters with those "Rifle" bearings are great... bright, nice colors, push quite a bit of air, and are nice and quiet :)
 
How long do these fans typically last?

Will it be too bright having 5 of these and 2 sunbeam CCFL's in an Antec 1080?

This is my first case mod so i'm having to figure out what would work best and where to stick it all.
 
I have 4 of them in my case and the damn thing lights up my whole room with the lights off. They're plenty bright. :D
 
Are they so bright that they are going to be annoying and blind me with 5 of them installed if the desktop is sitting up on the desk around 1-2' to the right of the monitor lol?
 
I have an Antec 80 mm fan on my case side. It lights up a good quarter of my room. With 4 more of these, daaaamn... :eek:

Another vote for the "Rifle" bearing Cooler Masters. They are all I have used. And I love them! :D
 
I dont suppose any of you have pics using the Cooler Master LED fans? I can't decide if i need to fill my case up with 5 (2 front, 2 back, 1 side) or if just having them in the back will look best.
 
I'll vote the CoolerMaster as well, nice and quiet, bright but not overpowering, move bunches of air too. Have 5 of these in my case (rig 1 in sig) one in top, two in side, two in back. While they are purple, the blue case light makes a cool glow to them =)

If ya need more airflow (i.e. don't have alot of places to put fans in the case), these are good as well and come with the reostat controller thing.
