I have about $40 for two case fans, and fans for a TRUE...
I heard those Scythes are pretty good, but any good LED fans? I really want to get a good red glow in that case :up:.

This is the fan used on Xigmatek's Achilles cooler.

Thx, I'll get some of those Scythes and whatever LED ones I can find. My concern is on how some really cheap fans have a CFM of 70-80 while the $20 SFLEX has a CFM of 63... Is there a pressure difference?

I have an aerocool extreme turbine on my xigmatek and it smokes the red bladed fans believe it or not.

These (http://www.petrastechshop.com/12yalod1blle.html), silent and they push decent amount of air.

It's really hard to combine the best of two worlds with the current availiable LED 120mm fans.
All LED 120mm fans I've looked up have poorer CFM : Decible ratio and they generally have low static pressure.
That's why I ended up replacing all of my nice eye candies Antec tri-cool led fans from my Antec 900 case with Scythe S-Flex 1200/1600 rpm variants.

The next set of 120mm fans that I'll be picking up for my TRUE is going to be the new Noctua P series.
It combines best of everything except no leds; it has an excellent CFM : Decible ration and the best in its class for static pressure.

If any manufacture is going to make a fan like Scythe or Noctua for their performance and with LED, I'd buy it with a heart beat; along with a reasonable price tag of course.
