Posting again because I don't think people were getting what I meant. 

 

Sorry for MS Paint, I didn't feel like using PhotoShop for something this simple.

Which fans should have LEDs? The case is a BitFenix Prodigy with windowed side panel.

 

I'm thinking the 230mm fan should be the only one, so as to not have an overpowering light setup on the black/red theme. 

 

But I want to hear your opinions. 

 

(Also, custom front panel: black mesh with red outline)

I may repost this tomorrow if I don't get enough opinions to make a decision as this time frame (12 PM to 5 AM) is kind of a dead zone.

These are pretty bright fans (BitFenix Spectre PRO white LED fans).

more fans = more airflow = good

 

I will be using all fans. I just want to know which ones should be lit.

I have 3 LED fans in mine and I can't see anything except the fans, my back fan just barely lights up the back of my cooler:

 

As many as possible, but I'd say at least the 203 and 140mm

Hmm...

 

 

White LED will be very weak imo

 

I have 3 LED fans in mine and I can't see anything except the fans, my back fan just barely lights up the back of my cooler:

 

As many as possible, but I'd say at least the 203 and 140mm

 

hmmm then i would say the two 120's at the top :P

 

the ones in the front & top, that will look nice.

 

My concern with LED lighting at the top is that the lighting will have to go through the rad before it reached the interior of the case. The LEDs might just end up showing better outside the case rather than in. Now I'm thinking the 140 and 230 are my best bet.

Nope. Please check compatibility before posting. My 240mm radiator blocks the 5.25" external drive bay.

Yikes. I don't want to pull that kind of thing, but I'll check it out.

its super simple, like 4 screws and you're done, then you can stick it anywhere in your case ^~^

I'll probably stick it near my PSU towards the bottom of my case so I can't see it.

I might. I'll wait and see what I want to do. If the fan LEDs don't cut it, I'll get this.
