LED case fans

krnasaur · 2012-04-09, 08:07 PM

My case (NXZT phantom) think it would look nice to flush out all of the grates with blue LEDs? or do these fans suck and i shouldnt waste my money

(doesn't need to be fans i can just use lights)

There is always good fans out there. Just a matter of paying the money. I got some coolermaster ones off newegg for $8 shipped that was a 2 pack. Not the biggest air pushers though.

Lol. Some go for $15+. What about these as a 4 pack?

from this page: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811146067
my case has space for

Dual 200mm, Single 230/200mm, Triple 120mm, and Front 140mm

These are the fan options. I wasnt going to LED the back fan(one of the 120mm's), so I only need 2 120mm fans. That leaves the front 140mm fan, one of the dual 200mm fans(the other came with LEDs in it) and the big 230mm fan (Im not sure what it meant by 230/200, so lets just say 230

)

4 120mm fans wouldnt work i don't think

Wow. Thats going to be a lot of $$$ on fans, but will look wicked. All of them will be viewable?

I know. thats what i was thinking, just quick skimming on prices looks like a lot.

Im thinking about skipping out on the 2 120mm fans because they have non LEDed ones that came with the case, and the top 200mm fan is like 1/2 veiwable so i was thinking about not getting those, but I'm not sure yet on anything.

but the rest of them are in plain sight, it will go great with the rest of my setup, blue LED keyboard and stuff

Hmm let me see what I can find. Amazon maybe the saver here due to the free super saver shipping. It will add up quick otherwise.

So i spent some more time looking at prices...

Its gonna cost more money than I'm willing to spend. Maybe ill do it later, but not right now

I need to keep a list of all the builds I have done, so I can look them up lol. You're welcome.

Yeah I see this costing a good penny. Probably $50+?

pretty much, and I was only willing to spend like 25 at the most.

My next build in a couple of years I'll go all out and factor in all the LEDs and cosmetics into my main budget, make looks a part of what I want todo, instead of just getting a working PC

There ya go.
