I was also looking at these. Beware that it says that 'EZDIY-FAB RGB controller is not compatible with other brand's fans.'

OR rather, a third party controller may not be able to speak to the LEDs / provide the expected current / connectors to a non-standard system. See how they ship with a bespoke controller and remote? You may find that it is a plug and play, and often it is. But this would be at your own risk.

Companies like this finance amazon shilling, so look for low-star reviews. A few of them jump out to me RE noise. If you are on a budget then can you make do with a few ARGB lighting strips embedded in the case and some cheap, high quality non-RGB fans? This would be my preference, because you will get the important performance and have a part that you could always sell on later for good money to buy RGB fans. The resale value of these will be non-existent.

As i feared, i dont really want insane lights but it does look like ill be going this direction.
