Default Which fans to destroy?
Alright guys I'm in a dilemma, nothing major, I just can't decide which fans to convert into shrouds. I've got 2 stock Antec 1200 rear exhaust fans and 2 Antec Tri-cool LED fans. I believe both are the same except the ones that came with my 1200 are black and the tri-cools are clear. Which ones would you kill to make shrouds?

Well if its going onto a radiator i would use the black ones because clear ones will let you see all the dust buildup on your radiator over time and that would look bad. IMO

I'd say stock, and like motoray said, the clear ones would look bad with dust.

The stock ones. TriCools have a 3 pin header which would be useful.
