Led fans...

Put this thread here because.....

Does anyone know if they make white led 120mm fans?
Thanks!

If not...
How would I wire up 4 leds to go around the fan? Like the resisters needed?

Never seen any but that would be one pretty bright fan...lol

chances are you will need CCFL fans if you are looking for something white....

or you could make your own LED fans.

I think making them is your best bet too.

If I were to make an LED fan, I would use a clear fan, probably one that already had LED's in it and remove them, so you would not need to drill holes. Many places like Directron and Xoxide have sales on them regularly so you should be able to pick them up for cheap.

I would try to get (4) 3mm LED's that are about 3v and run them in series and attach them to the 12v lead. That way you won't have to use a resistor. You could use a little hot glue or super glue to secure the LED's in place. I would run tape around the outside of the fan to tidy up the wiring. If you would like, I could try to post a drawing of the wiring schematic, if you have a hard time understanding my ramblings.

I have never done this, but I have been thinking about for a little while. If anyone notices anything I've said that's out of place, or incorrect, please post.

Well I was thinking of doing a white theme in my new case, but I might not, blue would be just as cool.

Try to get Revoltec LED fans, they are pretty cheap, push a lot of air compared to other lighted fans, and keep relatively quiet. Their 120mm models push 50cfm at 21dB.
