    These UV Yate Loons give off a great color, very deep blue (almost purple).

    Don't know about those ones but i've got a pair of the 1200rpm non-led ones and they're great. More airflow and less noise than the thermaltake ones which came with my case.

    And they're dirt cheap

    Can't go wrong with the Yate Loon fans. They're inexpensive compared to many others, good airflow and quiet. Been using them quite a bit over the last year or so.

    very good bang for bucks, and not bad performance either, totally a good buy. push-pulling on my TRUE at the moment.

    A bargain fan but needs a controller.

    Get the black plastic frame if you want lowest noise, clear plastic is harder and transmits vibration more. And they need undervolting to around 7V if you want near-silence.

    I use the low speed ones at 7v, and they are inaudable...

    What do you mean it needs a controller? It needs a fan controller to operate at the stated speed?

    He means your ears would benefit, if they were plugged into a fan controller. They will however run straight from a 4 pin molex or 3 pin header.

    they're good, but the ball bearing ones are better. and $10 is too expensive, get them here.
