Default Cable management and fans

I have an Antec 900 and I absolutely love it. However, I am wanting to change the fans on it to something more flashy but still very well at circulating air and also I need sleeves or whatever is best at getting my cables under control.

I only want to use NewEgg. I trust them very much and would prefer to stick with items on that site.

Break Down:
Looks like I am going to want to get 4 120mm fans. What I want are fans that have awesome airflow and that are very flashy and look cool. The Thunderbirds looked neat but I am not sure if those are good. Sound level does not bother me. Remember, the brighter and flashier the better.

As for cable management, I figured I'd go with some sleeves. With UV sleeves, do you need any kind of special light to make them work? Or are there some attractive sleeves I can get without the need of UV lights? I basically want to be able to keep my cables from sprawling across the motherboard but at the same time look awesome and glow.

Thanks in advance guys!!
Please link to NewEgg products.

i dont think ive seen very many wiring/sleeving kits on the egg.. you may want to open up your e-buying stores selection a bit..

id recommend you check out www.svc.com.. i trust them very much, to the same level of the egg, though they dont have as many parts.. just ask anyone whose an avid online shopper to tell you the same..

http://www.svc.com/flexokits.html

sorry, i know you asked for newegg, but at least check them out..

as far as fans, youve your options here:

I ran to Fry's and got some Artic Silver 5 and some UV sleeves for my cables. Techflex Case Mod Sleeve Neon Red.. they look more neon orange, but hey, they look neat. I will install it when I get my new power supply

JackZ, those look like good fans. Thanks!
