I got bored and changed my fans and thought I would put a slight touch of green. A change of pace from the typical blues and reds.
Got the Zalman fan controller in too.

Looks good. Now just swap the fan in the power supply out with a green one. Just don't electrocute yourself. And maybe mod your cpu cooler with green leds. Then your golden, well, green at any rate.

I used to have a Vantec strictly for my older Antec 1080 case when I had NF-7S and the Barton +3200 ... I had the Thermalright 947 or something or other with a Vantec Tornado on that ... That was a jet-engine ... and the Vantec controlled the speed on that quite well. It also monitored the CPU, HDD, and Mobo temps ... but as I told Comixion in a PM, some reviews gave the Zalman a big thumbs down because of the unreadable LEDs ... The one review said that you couldn't read it unless you were at the right angle ... I haven't even put mine in the case yet ... :(

Thats really a matter of opinion on the LED readout.
The reviews blow it out proportion.
Its not really that bad. I see mine quite well. I read the reviews about that issue before I bought it so I was aware of it.
Its no different than looking at an LCD tv. You have really get quite a distance to either side or up and down before it becomes unreadable.

Yea its not as bad as the reviews make out. Anyway, depending on where your computer is situated you would still have to move your head to view it anyway. Who sits with their computer directly in front of them?

Sorry Comixion but I really don't find that too visually appealing. Blue and Green just don't mix IMO. Colours need to be consistent throughout. So mod up your PSU and HSF :p

I like it. That cpu fan looks pretty cool with the blended blue & green.

Do you really need the backlit keys? My illuminated keyboard was just a novelty to me, didn't ever use it.

That accounts for why he mentioned he is left-handed, has carpal-tunnel syndrome, and loves p0rn ... see!? I knew there was truth to the ole saying if you keep w0nking, you'll start to lose your eyesight ... :D :p
