anybody know of a good 5.25" bay fan? (one that takes up like 2 or 3 bays)

i'd like it to be as quiet as possible but still perform. blue LEDs maybe? not required but that would be nice to have

Well there are only 2 I know of, but I highly suggest just getting a fan and using foam to keep it in place for the best performance. Here's a crude, horrible pic of mine:

Or just use zip-ties. that's what I did and it works great. Looks great, too!

Yeah I started with zip-ties too, but the foam helps so that the fan only sucks air from the front, and doesn't recycle air from within the case.

just a 120mm fan, any type, with just something like:

that on the front of it

Yep, with foam or something similar to cover the sides so dust doesnt come in.

I must have posted this pic now what, like 4 times?

That's an S-Flex F series by the way. Works great!

I like the idea, but i don't know which fan choose a ultra kaze 2000 or a S-Flex 1600rpm. On an Apollo case, i need the extra CFM of the Kaze?
