Re: Which Rig for Best Airflow???

I think HAF is a good choice that is the one I am buying as well. I kinda wish I could get some Orange LEDs though. But red is good enough I guess.

Orange would look good to, but I don't think I've even seen any orange LEDS in PC components...Red is hard enough to find as it is

I've only seen 80mm orange LED fans Advance Tec Ltd Cooler Master TLF-R82 4 LED Case Fan Orange

120mm seem to be non-existant

Those things look pretty cheap and nasty

Trying to find a fan that is both good and Led makes it even harder.

However Orange Cold cathodes are available and will complement Red led fans nicely.

Well Coolermaster fans are fine. I have a bunch of green LED 120mm ones in my PC, but I wouldn't use 80mm fans if they were the only orange ones I could fine.

aye...fixed that link

If I was going out and buying a case for air cooled goodness tomorrow, I would get the HAF. But like Smartyeyeball has done, I would probably mod the fan situation somewhat.

I stand by my choice though :P I look over at my 1200 and it is just a beast

The HAF is a great case also. I just was not that sold on the sidepanel with the decals on it. I would probably paint the thing.

Anyhoo. Its a good decision to have to make.

Sorry mate, I wasn't bagging cooler master fans (I've still got 3 in my case )

The black HAF image on the side? It's barely noticeable really

And your link just goes to the first page

It's alright

They were the best LED fans I could find for the price I wanted to spend on case fans.

But I'd do what Smartey said and use orange cathodes instead alongside the red fans, although a friend of mine used blue cathodes in his PC and they all died out after 2 months :S

Thanks for the great suggestions guys! Now I can't wait to get the new case! Just realized though that my OCZ PSU has a blue LED fan though. Damn it.
