Range from 8 - 11 bucks. Not bad. The quad blue led one is pretty nice.

I sprung for the more expensive Antec LED fan (mine is blue) from Directron on the strength of the review at Overclocker Warehouse (referenced from the fans's page (http://www.directron.com/blueledfan.html) at Directron) which determined that looked really cool and flowed reasonable air. I'm quite happy with it. For the really curious, its wavelength leans just a bit on the cyan side of blue

It's interesting that the Directron house-brand tri-color LED fan uses the same page (more or less) as the Antec tri-color, so I don't know if we can quite trust what that particular Directron unit looks like.

My Antec looks much like the cheaper quad blue LED fan that Yodums pointed out at Heatsink Factory (as in, pretty spiffy looking). Indeed, it seems the type with the LEDs around the outside is Obviously Much Better than the type with the LEDs in the hub.
