So i recently bought a 450D i love it but i think the bearings in the front 2 fans are broken because they make a geiger counter sound( i know its them because i unplug them and it stops) so im going to get new fans. im going for a blue/black theme so i thought these

would be cool and im asking are they decent i heard that some led fans are quite bad.i would be getting 2 140 and 1 120 and was wondering if it will be too bright aswell?

I've got a 140 in the back of my case. Pretty quiet and it looks good. Not 100% sure about the performance though.

I want to use them for my WC loop since they are fairly cheap but i'll see what comes up in this thread first^^

The led's are quite visible when you're looking at the fan through the case window. And it glows quite a bit. 

But i've got enough Led's in my case to light up my living room  ^_^

Do you think 3 will be too much because i want led's and a fan is the easiest way to do it. EDIT i think the front 2 wont light it up too much so as long as they are not shit imma get some thanks for your help

Spectres are pretty solid, as LED fans go. Obviously don't be expecting them to be Eloops with lights though.
