Blue LED Fans - Pics?

gas-man · 10-29-02, 04:17 PM

Anyone got any reviews and or pictures of blue LED fans? They're $9.00 each over at NCIX.com and I was thinking of getting some to put into my Thermaltake case.

Should I get 5 of them or just 3 - 2 back and window?

How loud are they? Cooling ability?

thouse fans kick a**... there are 2 on my friends setup. he has 2 black ice micro's with 2 80mm blue LED fans.

its worth it

gas-man · 10-29-02, 04:25 PM

Allrighty then - do you think it's worth it to get two for the front, would the blue shine through the front at all? That'd be awesome.

And is it possible to wire the LEDs to toggle switches?

I had two front and two back- I think they're coolmasters. But I replaced the two exhaust fans in the rear in favor of the Thermaltake Smart Case Fans (with variable speed control) since they pull 75.7 CFM at full speed. I usually leave them on low and their pretty quiet- just turn the knobs when you need more air.

I'll try and take some pics of my front fans and post them for you when I get homme from work.

yeah theyre pretty bright and would probably shine through the front, but i dont think that you can wire the LEDs on a switch. they are made to last as long as the fan though... so i think your fine just leaving it on.

when i tried to take pics of my they turned out crappy lol. But these fans are awesome. I have 2 upfront, 2 in the back, and I'm about to replace the top blowhole with 1 and maybe use one for a side blowhole. I got em from bestbyte.net I think they were just under 9 bucks...definately worth it.
Light up the case pretty well, I'll try and get some pics once I finish up the new window and blow hole later in the week

Codeman05 · 10-29-02, 05:44 PM

Actually the ones I have look a little darker, heres a link

gas-man · 10-29-02, 05:46 PM

I think the ones I'm talking about have 3 LEDs and yours have 4. The ones I am looking at are $9.00 Canadian, so that's like $5.60US - pretty good deal!

They're not overly-bright to an annoying degree are they?

Codeman05 · 10-29-02, 05:48 PM

No not really, and as far as noise they are pretty quiet...or really I probably just can't hear em over my HSF lol

nightowl · 10-29-02, 06:14 PM

I have the blue antec led fans and I think they look awesome!!

gingo · 10-29-02, 06:24 PM

those look cool, I have a blue antec and a cooler master led fan.

Starfoxer · 10-29-02, 06:41 PM

bah! my UV fans own them all!

see owned?

Nico3k · 10-29-02, 06:56 PM

BAH! where did u get thouse!?!?!??!

Starfoxer · 10-29-02, 07:01 PM

i made them myself!
paint from www.clearneon.com, and some clear BLUE Led fans

Nico3k · 10-29-02, 07:55 PM

woa cool... i think im gona do that

SlowBurn · 10-30-02, 12:34 AM

I actually have the Tri-Colored fans for my exhaust. They look pretty good in my silver case, but I did want just the plain blue ones. Oh well, can't go wrong when your friend sends them to you for free I guess

P.S. Once I have my computer completely done (just one more face-plate and bevel to paint), I will get some pics up.

D-Tek sells Blue and Green UV fans just like those.

KfistoRok · 10-31-02, 07:09 PM

Like the pic nightowl. Any more pics of your rig posted anywhere else?

Starfoxer · 10-31-02, 07:24 PM

yea! i swear no one did fans like that until i came out with mine!!!

CoolerMasters: 32CFM/25dB. I dunno if they are actually 25dB, but they certainly are quiet.

Poor kitty
