Page 2: The Lights, Conclusion
<B>The Lights</B>:
I did buy the fans for the lights, and that's what we'll see. It uses a blue, green and red LED that are pretty bright, but you can get brighter. The green strip on the outside of the fan is the power for the LEDs.

Cool effects huh?</center>
I really like how the lights emit off the blades of the fan, it spreads out the light over the entire fan. As you can see, there is enough light for each fan to justify its cost.

The green LED almost gets washed out by the blue one, but you will be able to notice it.

See any green through the grill?</center>
This shot shows that the green and the blue kind of mix together to form an aqua or teal. It does create a nice effect, but also the exposure on my camera is horrible. Looking at it in person, you can see the green, but mostly blue and red.

Wondering what the thing that it is lighting in the center?

Volcano 7 in action!</center>
The TT Volcano 7, or any other heatsink that uses a 80mm fan will be able to use this. The only problem is the airflow, it is a great deal less than my variable speed fan that comes with the Volcano 7. I had to put the original one back on, but if you have a slow CPU and you want it to look awesome, use the lighted fan.
<B>Conclusion</B>:
At $11.99, it isn't cheap. If your undecided about the lighting for your case and need some more fans, this would be a good option. If you have enough fans, get a cathode instead. Hopefully next week I'll have the CompUSA one for review.
