How about a Tuniq Tower? The blue one looks pretty nifty so you could expect a sililar effect with a red fan inside of the standard version.

What's your budget?

how easy is it to put a red fan inside and what fan would fit ? and could i put a red fan on the actic frezer pro ?

 

[prosser13]

Any standard 120x120x25mm red LED fan will fit inside the Tuniq Tower 120 - that is, most 120mm fans It's really easy to change, just a couple of screws.

And no, you couldn't put a red fan on the AC7 Pro, the fan is custom for that unit

 

[TwistNut]

oooo looks like it the tuniq tower then will it fit in my case tho i have been told they are huge

 

[prosser13]

What case have you got?

that one m8

 

[prosser13]

Should fit but the tight with the side panel fan might be quite tight...it's hard to get an idea of perspective from a stock picture sorry

 

[TwistNut]

hmmm see i had my eye on this maybe http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-021-ZA&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=821

i dunno how the green glow would look with the red

 

[prosser13]

There are better coolers out for the money...

Such as this one:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-048-TR&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=821

The previously mentioned Tuniq Tower 120 (BTW, mounting is a real pain. I got rid of mine because I had so much trouble mounting it, although that may have just been my board)

The Scythe Infinity - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-006-SY&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=821 - I've got the Ninja around somewhere and it's a really good cooler

You can't change the fan on that.

hmm i like the Thermalright IFX-14 CPU Cooler does that come with a fan or do u have to fit one ?

 

[BillytheImpaler]

IMO the IFX-14 is a huge waste of money. But if you must, it comes sans fan.

 

[Pneumonic]

IFX-14 does not come with a fan you need to buy one or two... In all honesty the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme is a better bet

 

[prosser13]

I didn't notice OCUK stocked the Ultra 120 Extreme - as they do, like the two guys above have said, go for that over the IFX-14

 

[TwistNut]

ok i dont need anything as good as the 120 exteme as im not overclocking just has to look nice in the case

any other surgestions

i kidner like this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-016-AS

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Again, you can't change the fan on that.

I still think the Tuniq qould be best.
