When you think of fan, you think keeping your PC cool, right? Well, yes. But with modding now a big part of a computer geeks *ahem* life, why not have a trival item turn into a light show??!!? - With the Akasa LED fans available from Extreme Cooling, you can have that light show ;-).

Two fans
There ya go, the fans in questions :o. - Well they look sexeh :D.
With the fan, you get:
3>4 convertor
Screws
A chrome fan grill
YES, a fan that comes with screws!! - Dont usually get these, plus it also comes with a 3>4 pin convertor.

Info on packaging
Part number being the Akasa part number. Its a 80MM, good standard size, can go on your case, your HSF with a 60 > 80MM adapter or even your head if your that way inclined :o. The fan will move 32.4 cubic feet a min, thats a good amount for the sound it produces, which is a mere 27.85 dB, with it on you only get a slight high pitch whining, only _very_ slight.
The main attraction being the LEDs. Each fan has two flashing bl00 LEDs:

All mine, muwhaha
Clear fans always look good =D. A shot with them on:

LED on when bright

LED one when dark
The LED isnt blindingly bright, but it emits enough light to look good.
Time to put it in me case:

Fan in case

Fan in case when darkish
I found that you need at least 2 of these before the blue becomes substantial enough. But the flashing LEDs is IMHO, alot better than constant glowing LEDs, espcailly if you dont currently have any other lights in your case.
To sum it all up, these fans are a great value for money. Not only do you get a fan that is quite, but you also get a fan with an added mod. Will look good as a chimney mod =D
Pros:
Very quiet fan
Good looking fan
Low price
Comes with items you usually expect to pay extra for
Cons:
LEDs not very bright
Doesnt light up the fan fins
