Hi,
I like both silence and bling-bling, and as my case has many blue led's (antec superlanboy) I live close to microcenter and they have 3 different 120mm LED fans, which would you endorse?
apparently only iXtrema has fluid dynamic bears (and blue LED's)

Based on the customer feedback of SilenX fans, I'd recommend getting something else instead (failure-prone FD bearings, mediocre quietness...).
How about a Nexus LED fan?

They have the same specs as their standard Real Silent fan (which is a favorite of SPCR), so I'd assume they're nearly as quiet. And I say nearly because of the clear plastic frame.
Or if you want to save a few dollars, you can get a slightly faster Yate Loon LED fan (YL makes the 120mm Nexus fans).
