Blue LED fans

What are some good blue LED fans? I am planning a build in an air 240, and I think some blue fans would match it well. I have a budget of around $20 for two of these, but I could go a little over if its really worth it. So far I have looked at the corsair ones and bitfenix spectre pros, but they don't seem to be that great. I care more about silence than airflow, so lower RPM fans will probably be better.

I'd go for a pair of Corsair AF120/140's, I have three red SP120's in the front of my Air 540 and they work nicely.

If these are for airflow, the Corsair ones are slightly quieter IMO, but on a radiator the Bitfenix are quieter. And I'm putting blue led fans in my Air 240 as well, but since I'm going for looks and not performance I'm using the Enermax Vegas blue.

They're not that quiet, actually. If you can still get your hands on a Cooler Master BC140, that would be better for acoustics, and otherwise you could always spend a bit more on a Phanteks PH-F140SP, though it has to be noted that that is a pressure-optimised fan, and as far as I'm aware they don't do an LED version of their airflow-optimised fans.

Corsair are ok but not quiet fans. Not sure what case you have but what I did with mine was use Noctua fans and put RGB LEDS near them so it would give a blue light through the grill. I couldn't find any LED fans that worked for me (I need them to be PWM as well).
