Who can recommend me some decent RGB fans that don't cost $20 each?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

What RGB fans are there that only cost $20? I can't think of any that cheap. $25 is about as low as they go.

I stand corrected.

What is your intended purpose for the fans?
Are they for case ventilation?
Are they for a cpu cooler?
Are they for a WC Radiator?
What size do you need?
Do you need a pwm fan?
Do you need quiet fans?
How much CFM do you need?
If you can answer these questions we can point you in the right direction. The link that I posted in the above reply will take care of a case ventilation scenario.

Full case intake/exhaust. Including intake for aio.
What size 120mm or 140mm?

These ones operate at a little bit higher rpm and flow a little more cfm than the last ones that I posted.

Never have had experience with that brand. Those fans are rated at 54 CFM so they are kind of on the low side for air flow. There is no static pressure rating for the fan either so I am not sure how well they would work on a rad. However if this is what your budget allows for I would give them a shot and post up a review here on the forums...

Bought these for a new build but haven't used yet. Price was reasonable. 120mm is a bit cheaper.

All I can find are the $16 ones. I'm tempted to just go without RGB fans. The price vs performance isn't worth it to me.
That's where I landed, too. I wanted RGB but was surprised how expensive they were, and Noctua doesn't make any so I'd be taking a double hit. It's hard to justify more money for an objectively inferior product. Not to mention the whole "how does all this stuff get controlled" side of the equation is still pretty messy.
It's really not that bad. Mostly, you set it and forget it.
