My original case fan was incredibly loud. It doesn't pay to go too cheap on the case fans. I'm not a 'modder' and don't spend time making the computer case look pretty, but I wanted a fan that would run quiet and help contribute to the overall process of keeping the case cool. This fan seems to do both just fine for my needs. The blue light it emits is a nice gimmick too. The fan shipped to me quickly and without any troubles. I would recommend this fan.

I bought this fan for my Antec 900 case and it fit like a glove, didn't even need the screws! The blue glow is a very nice finishing touch and goes well with the overall design of the case. I have all my fans at the max speed and the noise they generate all together is no louder than a regular computer with a couple of fans.

Not really much to say about a fan but it looks great, its pretty quiet and has 3 fan settings. It has a molex connector or a 3 pin connector so that you can plug it into the motherboard. Its a great fan for the price !

I bought this a replacement for a fan in my antec case, but there where some differences from the original case fan.

1) The blades are clear rather than black which makes the LED effect brighter than the fan directly above it.

2) The wire for the speed switch is only about 3 to 4 inches long as opposed to the original fan where the wire was about 8 inches. A big difference for accessing the switch after the installation. I thought seriously about splicing the wire, but decided that I always leave it on low anyway.

Neither are deal breakers, but I know it's the kind of thing that will drive some people around the bend and should know them ahead of time. The fan itself: no problems

I snapped up a pair of these fans for a recent build I did - one in blue, and one in Red and am very happy with them.

The fan that came with the case I purchased was excessively noisy. Now, I don't need a SILENT pc, but quiet is important. More important though is that whatever noise I DO hear isn't a high pitched whine.

With these Antecs, I got exactly what I needed. A quiet NON-WHINY fan that pushes plenty of air. The three-speed selector switch allows me to choose the sweet spot for noise/air volume, but not only does the middle position move plenty of air, it's also quiet. I used to have my intake set at the lowest setting and the exhaust in the middle, but really didn't hear much difference, so I now have them both set in the middle position. Combined with my Vendetta Cpu Cooler my new build stays ice cold (well, maybe not ICE cold, but pretty darn cool).

They also feed my geek gene by looking great. I've mounted the blue inside the front panel (intake) and the red in the rear (exhaust) and my case looks, well, great.

The ONLY negative here is that these aren't PWM fans (I was going to ding them a star for that, but since they don't CLAIM to be PWM that would be silly. They are certainly five stars in context)and their speed cannot be software controlled . But since, as I said, the center position is cool and quiet enough, this doesn't really bother me. Antec supplies both molex an motherboard power connectors, so you'll get this fan running no matter what power source you have available.

Highly recommended!

first bought the antec 900 case from newegg a 1.5 years ago and about a year after having it wanted to fill up the side fan slot and bought this. love it and is like one of the fans that came with the computer case. would buy again/recommend.

very very bright blue LEDs, very powerful fan, but you can change the speed if you think its too much for you, i have this fan as an intake fan on the side of the case blowing onto the montherboard, works great...looks great

I bought this with the Antec Twelve Hundred ATX 12 Drive Bays 2xUSB 2.0 eSATA Audio Full Tower Case and they work beautifully.

Like many other users I purchased this fan for the Antec 900 case. I love it! The color matches the led lights on the stock fans that came with the case. Unlike the stock fans, it's clear, so perfect fit for the more visible side of the case as an intake fan.

Another feature I like about this fan is that it has both a 4 prong connector for power, and a 3 prong one that will connect directly to your motherboard. Of course, like the stock Antec 900 fans it also has 3 speeds to choose from, all of which are quiet. It just doesn't get better than this for air cooling.

I like my comp to glow as well as perform. I recently purchased an antec 900 which comes stock with 3 of these fans. not only does it have 3 diff settings, they fit peoples needs. Low setting for quiet minimum but effective cooling, Medium for decent cooling and relativley low noise, and high setting for maximum and very effective cooling as well as a little bit of noise, but if you dont like noise..put it on medium or low. This fan is awsome, i suggest espeacially for looks and espeacially for performance.
