Default i'm sick of all the BLUE!! Where to find other colors?

Ok, I have a smilodon case and it came with a blue LED fan, right? Well I'm looking for purple or pink case fans and I only seem to find ones that are closer to the color blue. What is the deal with all the %^!$ blue? Does anyone know a place to find pink or purple? I don't want to have to mod the fans myself...

I have never seen pink case fans, red maybe but not pink. There are also white leds available.

I guess they dont sell pink since 99.9% of modders are male.

I have a purple fan from CoolerMaster so I know they make them. I use purple b/c it was close enough to UV.

**** ARE YOU REALLY A GIRL????/?1?!1!?

OK, to answer your question: Yes, a lot of purple fans look too close to blue. My only suggestion I can think of would be to do it yourself (which you already said you don't want to) or to get a fan with both red and blue LEDs, and hope it turns purple in the middle: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...roducts_id=159

Sorry I couldn't be more help...

I know, I know, I know...most of the modders are male but I've found pink LEDs all over the place but none in fans. I've purchased "purple" LED fans but they all look blue so I returned them... If I get the LEDs seperate and put them into the fan what kind of tools would I need?

Soldering Iron + solder

However, solding just LEDs is hard since they are so small. Also, how the LEDs are mounted in fan can make it even harder.
