Pros: Great fan, SUPER quiet. LED is nice and bright. The fan cable has some decent length to it, so you can connect it to any spot on your MOBO you have available.

Cons: The color of the LED isn't quite white, in my opinion. Mine, at least, has just the slightest hint of purple in it.

I don't believe it is just me, as I asked a friend for an opinion on it as well.

That said, it still looks great.

Pros: This fan is quiet, and has a long cord for making your motherboard connections. The white LEDs are really nice and make a great effect when reflecting from the fan blades. Oh, and as a fan should, it moves a decent amount of air.

But...

Cons: When I try to use this fan connected to my motherboard's connectors, the motherboard isn't able to continuously read the speed of this thing.. I have tried 2 different software applications, as well as the BIOS itself. I have tried to plug this into different power connectors on my board...and I get the same results everywhere I go. I have tried other fans, they are working just fine.

Other Thoughts: I may have a defective unit, but by judging the one, the fan is great. But if you want to be able to monitor your fan's speed, at least this particular one I have, it is out of the question.

Pros: LEDs are VERY bright, these are like flashlight white LEDs here, giving a unique look. Dead silent.

Cons: Ordered 3 at once, all 3 of them came with the 7 blade model as another reviewer warned of. They feel like they barely move any air, certainly nowhere near the 65cfm advertised. My PSU 80mm fan moves more.

The finish on both sides of the blades is very cheap, the same kind of quality you find on grochery store haloween toys.

Other Thoughts: They are dead silent, however I bought these to replace the stock antec 900 fans... I figured 65cfm versus 80cfm would be worth it to lose the cliche blue lighting, but these feel so weak I don't even think I'm going to bother to swap them out.

I'll stick them in the 3 extra fan spots since they look awesome, but as I said these are really only worth buying for the looks. 11 bucks is cheap I know, but when you can get other 120mm high cfm fans for $5 that look boring, I expected more. Newegg was great as always though, ordered them very early saturday morning (like 2am) and they still got here by Wednessday morning, from california to wisconsin. I figured they wouldn't even get shipped till tuesday.
