    Pros & Cons

    Pros

    • Adjustable speed
    • Awesome design
    • Includes full mounting hardware
    • Gold fan grilles
    • They just look sweet
    • All fans (even the 120mm) can be hooked to a motherboard header

    Cons

    • Not the best noise/cfm ratio
    • Not everyone likes a purple fan

    Conclusion

    Well, I'd say these fans are a very nice introduction to the cooling world. While there are fans at every step that CAN beat them in air/noise ratio, there are no other fans out there that can beat them at customizability. Changing the speed only took a matter of 2 or 3 seconds per fan, meaning that someone can pop the side panel and in less than 30 seconds change the speed of their fans all across the board here. So, if you're like me and have a cooler room, you can keep the fans a bit quieter, but when you haul the tower off to a much warmer LAN setting you can get everything running as cool by kicking them up a notch or two. These are absolutely awesome fans to have.
