Quiet but good performance/looking fans
Hi guys, I am looking for some new fans for my case and the ones I have are far too loud.
I need four 120's and one 140.
With LEDS. Either Red/Blue/Green/Purple. Dont mind and post your review on it if you have them 
3 of the 120's will be used for normal intake and outtake and the spear one will be left to cool my H70 which currently has an Akasa Viper Fan i think they are called. | My System Specs |

Newegg.com - Nexus LED D12SL-12BL 120mm Blue LED Case Fan
Blue LED 120mm above.
I can't find many fans with LEDs from manufacturers known to emphasize low noise.
But your definition of "quiet" may be different than most people.
Here is a bunch of reviews of the same fan without the LED: Nexus 120mm Real Silent Case Fan D12SL-12 Case fan http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1266-page2.html | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one

Yeah, I don't use cases with Windows, and I don't really look inside of my case, so for me, it's all about function rather than bling. But I do realize that other people have different interests. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-Built in July 2009
