I'm updating my desk-PC by making a new custom built case (since the one i have now is a bit too high and not that practical..) 
Untill now i was using two 140mm intake fans and no exhaust fan, since the air was escaping through the I/O panel grill and PCI-e hole. I should probably add that the CPU and GPU are water cooled and the radiator is outside the case.
The new case that I'm planning to make will be about 14~14.5cm tall, witch is just enough for a 140mm fan but it wouldn't look that good in my opinion..
so I'm looking to buy a (pair probably) 120mm fan..and looking online I saw this:

the Enermax T.B. Vegas.....and i want it !
But since i want to use them as intake fans in my system only their back side will be visible...

so I'm asking if anyone owns any of this Enermax Vegas or Apollish fan - is the CURVED-ILLUMINATED-LINES effect still present on their back side (is it at least half as good as in the picture above)?
Because the only pictures I could find from their other side while the leds were on don't look so good - but I hope it's just because of the angle and the longer exposure.. like this one:

thank you.

LED fans, especially those with more LEDs, will have curved lines, due to how the light interacts with the blades. It's quite noticable.

I know they have curved lines >.<
but will the effect be as good as in the first picture or will it be more blurry/will have missing lines/will have something different on the other side of the fan?
will they still have their beautiful curved lines on their back side?
