Default Which red LED 120mm fans?
I need to get 6 red LED 120mm fans for my current mod. I am actually going to remove the fans and use the shrouds so the LEDS must not be mounted on the fan stems.

I want to avoid red fans that look 'pinkish' or 'orangish'

I am considering red Zalman ZM-F3 but cannot find any other but marketing photos. Does anybody here got this one insatlled? If so, then how close to real red is it?

I personally like AC Ryan fans. Here's a link to where you can see the colors of each one.

Here's another of their Red fans but it also has red CCFL's around it.

AcRyan fans are awesome - you'll need a fan controller as they can be loud at full blast, but they push a lot of air.

I've heard good things about Xilence 120mm red LED fans too, and the non-LED version I have is very quiet while still pushing a reasonable amount of air

Thanx.
I am not worried about fan specs since I am only going to use the shrouds. Dont want to buy anything expensive or fancy as it will be partially destroyed anyway.

The Zalmans ZM-F3 are quite cheap.
Any has red one in their rig?

the Logisys quad-led fans are good using 4 of them right now and they've got a nice red light, LEDs are in the corners and not on the struts, although the wiring for the LEDs are in the struts :\

these thermaltake thunderblades have a good clear red and the wiring is along the perimeter of the fan housing.
