    Performance PCs has some blue LED 40mm fans.
    Frozen CPU has some as well, though the only non-black fan is out of stock right now. :(

    I'm going to use ACE fans. ACE is a dutch casemodding brand with probably the largest modding assortment in the world. I believe they have 13 different fan colors in 5 different sizes, including 40mm red. Unfortunately the official website ACE-Modding.nl is down.

    To give you an idea:

    I'm guessing either the radiator. the front panel or the pump is what Darkened is doing in a similar manner.

    According to me, ACE systems is broke. You might have to buy those fans quickly before they're all sold out. Just an idea. :)

    I've contacted Salland about that because I thought the same thing, they informed me they could still supply the fans.

    I got the red carbon film today. I had hoped it to look better than this, but since I got it I'll use it anyway. Perhaps I will replace it later if I find something better.

    And applied to the Dominator Airflow:

    Like Stievius said, its a red film with gray dots printed on it. Would have preferred it to be black dots. I actually have a new idea in my head for replacing the carbon film. Not sure if I'm going to use it though.
    As for the watercooling, I felt like sharing something with you. Its one of my favorite photos on Bit-Tech. It gives me lots of inspiration for this mod, all from one picture.

    Its from modsquad's Black Narcissus.

    That photo needs no introduction :hehe:

    For the vinyl, the "normal" cf-vinyl looks ok, but not great and same goes here, it could be better. Though I don't know if you can get real red CF from anywhere. The positive side of it is that it looks apart from anything I've seen.

    Anyways, I really like where you are steering this mod, great progress and you just can't go wrong with red and black :thumb:

    I hope you didn't buy anything at ACE systems. If I ever meet him he will have a serious problem because I'm still pissed about not giving me my money back. I paid more then 70 euros and he never gave me my products. I hope he's bankrupt the asshole. Sorry for my bad language but guys like him give webshops a bad name :grr: :grr: :grr:

    Then its a good thing I'm not ordering it directly from him ;)

    I was thinking of replacing the CF film with some mesh sprayed metallic red.

    i hate fake carbon. the idea for the mesh, however, is a very good one.
