Well, i am thinking of getting some of these, my mind is bugging me about them more and more about them eveRy time I look at other fans. They will have to be imported - luckily i have close ties with some peeps in the netherlands. They work out pricey about R170 per fan give or take (without shipping and customs) but trying to circumvent paying for shipping / customs thru friends of friends that is coming for a holiday to SA in 2 weeks time.

With the rated stats:

Airflow 79.14 CFM
Static Pressure 2.83 mm H2O

I thnk they will perform quite nicely and with their look i will have something unique yet "blingy" as Ike009 has said, but heck, why be normal? Lol :D

I wonder how they will throw off the purple uv i am planning to also put in my case... :eek:

Definitely get more, so quiet and pretty :D
 
SPs aren't that quiet but the work well but I have a controller so it works great. Best of both
 
Okay... I finally got my 800D and quickly put it together this morning.

I caved and bought me Coolermaster Sickleflow X 120mm's (4 of them) - with NO LED's :eek:

Yup, after what Ike_009 showed us in the thread what he did with LED's I went LED hunting and found a 5 metre multi-colored LED string (i did not use all 5 meters only about 2-and-a-half metre) which I installed into the case. You will see it in the photos, I tried to run it as much as I can inside the case without getting in the way of myself and other things. Unfortunately they were a little bit expensive so I am keeping the 3 Corsair 140mm's in place so that I can later get other 140mm fans when my budget looks a bit more rosier. Sorry for the quick photos - will take nice ones later and post.

The LED strip comes with a controller so you can choose which color you want to run and you can also let the controller cycle or let the colors breathe. I will later also upload a quick vid if you guys wanna see.

Have a good one!

The lighting came to R755 for the led strip (150 led's) together with the controller and all the main fittings. I cannibalised an old fan just to get to its molex connector so I could link up the control unit inside the case.

Took me quite a while to assemble (+- 6 hours) and get all the cable routing nice and neat.

Thanks to everyone that contributed. I will take proper photos of my whole set-up this afternoon in daylight to show.
