Ive just bought the NVIDIA edition of this case, can any of you cm690 owners recommend me some good 120mm green LED case fans that match the front green LED fan thats already on the case ???

Do you think this is the same:

i don't think the problem is it, isn't a good case. its a great case i have 2 of them in the house (one stock, then my gaming case that is modded mad). i think what happens is there are so many people that buy this case that a lot of them want to do mods so they search the internet a little and find this forum. once they see what some other people have done and how versatile the case is they do some. but i think its just a mass amount of cm690s in the wild and there are so many options to mod them.




i have done:
side window
drive bay intake fan
painted the inside black
stealth cd drives
cut the plastic mesh front and top
cut the metal from the top
rigged a fan to blow at the gfx card
cut the motherboard tray so i can still hide wires from a 1k psu
neon lights
and i think thats it...


the micro center in mi around here has 3 cm690's if i remember right for there computers on the floor that people can use and they have a huge HUGE stock of them in the store.

Thanks m8, do you know what the postage would be to the UK ??? It might be a bit of a mess about for a couple of case fans though. I just want a couple of green LED fans that will match the one ive already got in the case, you'd think id beable to find some somewhere in the uk

Arn't there any other decent green LED fans that i could buy ?
