If you want to keep the fans, you would probably need to remove the LED's on the case fans, and superglue in red LED's, while soddering the power leads into the fan's power cable.

Or you could just buy new red LED fans.

alot less of a hassle to just buy new fans, unless you know how to use a soldering iron

Replacing the LEDs would be easier, I'm sure you can find a guide online on how to do it.

You need 5mm LEDs to replace the ones in the Tri-Cools.

A900 comes with 4 fans, and I'm pretty sure 3 of them are blue LED.

Yeah, the 900 comes with 4 fans; 3 are LED, the non-LED is the 200mm BigBoy fan in the roof.
