I am fed up with my case fans being too loud despite using my NZXT Sentry 2 fan controller so I am asking for some advice from you guys as to what to upgrade them to. I have a maximum budget of £50 and plan on buying from amazon.co.uk, I want to buy 4 120mm case fans but I really like the red LED look of my case and want to reduce the noise of my case fans, but keep the red LED effect, I was looking at Corsiar AF120 red LED series fans but the amazon reviews say they are noisy so I looked at the non-LED AF series fans and from what I can tell they are quieter but I won't keep the LED look, so maybe the answer is LED strips around the fans (how would that look? would it be visible from outside the case through the grill?) but I often do overnight downloads as my internet is painfully slow, and because my PC is near my bed in my room I don't want the LEDs on otherwise I will never sleep, so with the remaining fan control switch could I buy a 3 way Y molex connector to connect the 3 light strips (I need 3 as I will have 3 groups of fans and only one free fan control space) or will I have to fill up my last remaining 5.25" bay on my case =[ on a generic knob fan controller for the LEDs. From my research noctua fans + light strips are too expensive, so does anyone have any advice on case fans that won't be heard over my stock CPU cooler and as as cheap as possible so that I can buy LED light strips too (assuming I would be able to see them on the outside of the case). Sorry for the rambling and the wall of text but I feel it was necessary to tell you what I am thinking. Thanks again -hopgop1
