Case Fans & UV Lights

AdamN · 8 Mar 2011 at 12:48

Afternoon peeps,

This is total visual thing but having recently fitted some UV tubes to my 800D, I'm just about to order an addition three fans for the top panel, however I want them to glow.
As a result, what would be the best to use? (Black case and white fan I suppose).
Any pictures or feedback welcomed.

Thanks,

Enermax Apolish Vegas.
Very bright, very flashy, good airflow, They come in a range of colours, red, green, blue, white...

Yeah not really the look I was going for. I have the UV in the case. I wan't white bladed fans to reflect the UV so if you look up into the case, you can see them.
They should (if done properly) shed a little more light on the inside of the case without having to add any more tubes...

(Am I fussy or am I fussy)???

AH, I see, you mean white fan blades, not white LED's...
In which case go for the Bitfenix Spectre. I hear good things about these fans.

OR This Fractal Design which is extremely silent and has fairly good airflow for 600RPM.

Yeah now you're talking, the Fractal fans have braided cables too... Done x 3. Thank you!

Bit late now you've ordered xD

Was wondering if crystal fans would have been better?

Not too sure tbh, but yeah, thought I'd bring up the idea

No not too late as I held off for some strange reason... Have you got a link to these fans?

You can actually get fans with fan blades that react to UV light. Additionally, AC Ryan used to do these Blackfire fans, that had UV lights themselves - and you can also get fans with built-in circular UV CCFLs.

Something like that, not sure what they're like under UV lights tbh, was just a kind of "I wonder" moment

i have 3 of these in my 800d and are very good for air flow and noise.
