Default Antec 1200 Front Fan LED Color Difference?

It was bugging me since i got the case and turned it on but thought it was just either

A: the filter or just the way i'm looking at the case. Then even looking at it in different angles and even in the dark the top fan is lighter the the bottom 2. I thought it was a problem with the connector. Nope. Maybe it's just a fault with the fan as i've seen pictures of the 1200 having all the same color LED's.

Doesn't really "Bother" me but it catchs my eye sometimes while i game or such.

The led might have a problem, but the fan should work fine. Its probly not worth an rma, unless you realy like your leds, you can get a nice 120 mm fan with blue leds for cheaper then it would cost to rma.

You were supposed to get 3 extra 120mm fans. Antec claims that some of their 120mm fans were faulty so they threw in 3 free fans.

You're not going to get 3 extra fans anymore. They stopped offering that when they fix their fan problem.

Same goes for me.

The top front fan on my Antec 1200 is a cyan color, instead of the normal dark blue color.

I wonder if this is worth a shot to try and call them.

Now that you mention it, mine does too.... try switching it with the bottom one to ensure it's not perspective.
