Hello! I bought a cooler master case a while ago, which came with a blue LED fan, and it lights my computer quite nicely. since the case i have is panelled, i have been saving up to purchase some fans to kit it out and make it glow blue.

Of course, it would be better to spend £20 on fans that provide air and light, rather than just buying a lighting kit.

The problem is, OCUK isn't stocking many blue LED fans and the ones they are stocking are in the £7 region, and i need about 5. pretty expensive.

Does anyone know if there will be any more cheaper, preferrably around £5 fans coming in? i thought ocuk used to do value, or maybe i'm just looking at the wrong size fans.

Most cheap LED fans are exactly that - cheap (as in bad)! I think the cheapest LED lit fans you should get are probably BitFenix ones, they look great but I think they retail for about £6.50 each, but OCUK doesn't seem to have the blue variety at the moment.
 
bitfenix is stocking red, green and orange. no blue :<

just my luck eh?

I guess it would be a good thing to ask, are there any blue bitfenix coming in stock?

Could always give the nice folks at ocuk HQ a bell/email and find out, but yeah cheap led fans are evil.

My gf's rig has 3/4 cheapo led's and can hear them through the floor like a hoover.
 
The transparent plastic they use in cheap LED fans deflects and vibrates under load far more than standard opaque plastic. That's why I modified a standard fan with LEDs as I couldn't stand the awful noise from a cheap Coolermaster LED fan.
