I want to buy an LED fan. IT has to have RED LEDs and fit in the back of a fractal r4 (140mm). I really need something that stands out inside of my case and this would go awesome with my black/red theme.

the corsair red led ones.(not a big fan of led fans)

 

Noctua or GTFO.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

For that is all I need, For the Emperor of Man, Jen-Hsun Huang, protects. We march for Nvidia, and we shall know no fear!

Aren't those only 120mm -_-. I'd want to say get those sexy black Noctua server spec fans but they'll eat your wallet...how about trying Be Quiet just colour the logo red since its black.

Edit : Just realised...they do sell the Corsair LED fans in 14cm size.

The lighting is kind disproportional to adding a good enough lit effect in some cases. You'll get some light off of them but not too much. I guess they look slightly overpowering.

I Think it would look cool if the fan was only lit up not letting of an immense glow.

LEDs im assuming are purely cosmetic? There arent that many 'great' LED fans. Just some cool ones

i havent seen many 'unique' 140mm LED fans. I would just use a 120mm. 

 

theres the Lepa Choppers (go to around 2:40)

 

i use Enermax Vegas Trios but they now have a quad version (i heard a rumor theres a new version :) )

They work pretty well but lkike i said, theyre solely cosmetic
