anyone seen these or have one?

how much do they restrict airflow?

also how bright are they? are they so bright they would be fighting with a normal cold cathode if they were in the same case?

I've never had or used one, but from the looks of it it shouldn't restrict air flow very much, as it's not over the fan blades much, if at all. It would probably be around as bright as a regular cc.

Looks very nice.
Like Rugbyroy said, airflow will not be restricted much.

That should do it, but won't it block a bit of airflow, since you have 2 grills on the fan?

I also thought that lol, I will have to test it out, but with the cathode grill, extra long screws and the metal grill, there is gonna be like an extra 2 inches on top of the fan, we will see....

I have one from xoxide tahts red and blue. I dont use it because personally it looks cheap and it has an inverter. I have to many inverters in my case and I dont need plastic fangrills. So in my opinion, stay away.

----Yes they are very bright.

Yeah I now decided to not bother with it, even though it is very very cheap (take into account I live in England, AKA rip off land).

I have a couple in blue.

They look kool but the rings emphersise the circle cut for the fan and as it isnt as bright as the CPU's LED fans it ok, but the shade of blue is differant to the LED

They look good if another part of the case has rings/circles and the color is light too
