Making Intake Fans Pretty

[BrooksinIT]

So as we all know the "exhaust" side of fans (the side with the wires and frame to hold the motor) is not the prettiest of things.

 

Does anyone here have any cool ideas on how to hide that side?

 

I am trying to get some Airflow fans mounted as intakes in my case, but can't bring myself to letting anyone see not so pretty side (Corsair 760T's window is both a blessing and a curse).

 

The best solution I have found at this point is to mod them with an anodized sheet metal cover, to try and make the side look more appealing and hide the wire, but this is expensive as heck! Especially when you are building a case with 10 or 12 of em. My wallet weeps from my horrible decisions.

or get a vinyl wrap and cut it buying anodised sheet metal is over the top?

 

 

Metal fan grills ?

 

 

Buy Corsair AF fans because they look good already ?

Yea standard AF fans look fairly good on the backside, as do fractal venturi fans (I am using 6 of them in my build, since the Corsair fans are a little weak for my tastes.)
