High demand low supply easy as that

Hi! I recently got the Lian Li o11 MINI, and I want some new RGB fans to show off my build. I want it to look nice, so I was considering the Lian Li UNI fans, but those are WAYYYY overpriced at the moment (MSRP=80 USD, right now they are selling for 150+ USD)

 

Then I looked at the QL and LL fans from Corsair, both of which I am 100% willing to get, but then I saw a budget option, the Lian Li ST120. Only available on Newegg, they are $40 for 3 fans, and I am heavily considering them. They aree the same fans that come with the Lian Li Galahad AIO.

 

So my question:

 

Which one? Wait for the UNI fans to be better priced, get the LL or QL, or save some money and grab the ST120 when the get in stock?

the title kinda says it all, here is the US, the UNI fans are $170+ for the 3-pack with controller. The MSRP for the pack is $80. The single fan is $40+ and that has an MSRP of $25...

 

Is it a stock issue?

Any idea when it will be resolved?

 

Thanks!

The fans are wildly popular and sell out the moment they are in stock.

So, this is a case of the market setting the price.

Honestly, just wait. Spending that much money on fans is a pure insanity. Yes, they look nice but holy cow.... its just fans!

haha, yeah. Its a TON of money. I was also thinking the Lian Li ST120, but those are out of stock and only sold at Newegg for some reason.
